jsl@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu (John Lundberg) (06/08/89)

Comment on the Ayatollah's funeral in Tehran (wherein the corpse of the
dead religious leader was apparently tossed to the ground by frenzied
mourners trying to get a piece of his burial shroud to keep as a relic:

"It was a dignified affair, by Iranian standards."

(from Steve Hanson, DJ on Pittsburgh's WMYG)
