Viewing Notes

Very well done. The beginning had an especially heavy emotional impact on me as I very clearly remember living through the events of the Iranian Revolution, the hostage crisis, the failed rescue mission and the presidential elections in 1980. That time period was the first time I remember being consciously aware of politics, both in the greater world and in the United States.
