520    The son of an Iranian diplomat and the grandson of an 
       ayatollah grew up in exile, yet he also remained closely 
       attached to his homeland. Majd's reports on his travels 
       throughout Iran try to explain the economic, political, 
       and social forces that lie at its heart, and to show the 
       paradoxes of the Iranian character that have baffled 
       Americans.
