500 Iranians known
as The Militants’
(AP) - Any list of "Who's Who" in
the hostage crisis would certainly
include Ayatollah Khomeini, but the
main characters in the year-long
drama, aside from the hostages them-
selves, are the shadowy group of
perhaps 500 Iranians known as "The
Militants."
Just who are the Iranian militants
who took more than 50 Americans
hostage, demanding the return of the
Shah?
One initial report said they in-
cluded members of the Palestine
Liberation Organization. Most early
theories suggested they were trained
by the Soviet Union, perhaps in
Eastern Europe, as part of a massive
infiltration effort by the Kremlin,
but in time, the consensus held that
the militants were just what they
MILES PER GALLON
CALCULATOR
TO USE:
Calculate miles per gallon between
fillups. Start with a full tank and record
mileage. At time of next fillup, record
gallons used and miles driven since the
previous fillup.
Using any straight edge, line up the
gallons used (left scale) with the miles
driven (center scale) to figure the miles
per gallon obtained (right scafn'
Example (dotted line) shows 10 gallons
were used to drive 140 miles, or 14 miles
per gallon.

said: university students, trained
in anti-Shah activism—and in the
Islamic dogma of Ayatollah Khomeini.
At one point, asked if they were
Marxists, beyond even Khomeini's
strict Islamic control, a militant
spokeswoman offered this telling no-
comment: "We can't respond right
now, we're at prayers."
The students have operated with
Khomeini's blessing, his funds and
even with food from his revolution-
ary committee kitchens. Whatever
their ideologies, their training or
background, they are—as most Amer-
icans would agree—a force to be
reckoned with.

'There’s only one AI i. ’
(AP) - President Carter entered a
church on a campaign stop in New
York's Bedford-Stuyvesant area Mon-
day as the crowd outside went wild.
But, it wasn't going wild-for Car-
ter. The chant was "All, Ali," for
Former Heavyweight Champion Muhammad
Ali, who was appearing with the
president. One small guy put the
crowd's feelings into words the ex-
champ himself might have been proud
of: "There will always be a Presi-
dent around to see. There's only
one Ali."
Success at work
isn’t just luck
(AP) - What makes for success at
work? According to a survey of fe-
male executives, it isn't "luck" or
who you know. It's a combination of
strong ambition and motivation.
This survey by "McCall's" has also
found encouragement from parents
helps make a successful executive,
as does a good education and a
steady career with the same com-
pany. These women are mostly
middle-management or above and are
aged ?5-to-50. More than half were
married, and a quarter of those who
are married have children at home.

An experiment in cooking
New York (AP) - Tradition gives
way to experiment in a new cookbook
on the market.
The chapters in Bert Greene's
"Kitchen Bouquets" (published by
Contemporary Books) are not typed
by food—but by the flavors that
give a particular dish its unique
essence.
The virtues of coffee are extol-
led in one chapter.
Coffee works especially well in
"Ham with Red-Eye Gravy"—an intoxi-
cating dish that originated in the
Klondike more than 100 years ago.
Two ham steaks are sauteed in
butter until they're light brown.
The gravy is a combination of
two-thirds of a cup of hot coffee,
two tablespoons of cream, a table-
spoon and a half of bourbon and a
teaspoon of sugar. This mixture is
then poured over the ham steaks
which are cooked for another five
minutes, and turned once.
The steaks are then removed from
the skillet. The gravy is heated to
boiling, stirring constantly.
