The article presents information on several socio-political issues. On the eve of her appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1951, actress Gale Sondergaard, famous for her portrayal of Spider Woman, asked the Screen Actors Guild to support witnesses who availed themselves of the constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Although several reports of U.S. arms shipments to Iran cropped up over the past year, Reagan is correct in crediting Al Shiraa, a weekly magazine published in Moslem West Beirut, with breaking the story. Al Shiraa's unique contribution was to present the scoop in a context that provoked the Iranians into confirming that former national security adviser Robert McFarlane had visited Teheran.
