"Times, they are a-changing, both at home and abroad. This week, the Pledge
of Allegiance was ruled unconstitutional by a California court. Meanwhile,
social reform continues to progress at a blistering pace in Iran. Hot on
the heels of legislation that limits the size of stones used for throwing
at adulterers, an arbitrating body in Tehran has approved a law increasing
the minimum marriage age from 9 to 13 for girls and from 14 to 15 for boys.
The law's approval is seen as a victory for Iran's reformists, who seek to
improve women's rights. Right before press time, Rob Lowe and R. Kelly were
seen stepping over their own mothers to get non-stop flights to Tehran,
where Roman Polanski has already anounced his next film will be set. "
