Mark: As you know, Dr. Mahdavi, in recent weeks, there has been an outpouring of protest from Iranian women over the all-covering "chador," which they see as a symbol of Islamic sexism. Mark: Will the Ayatollah respond to this news... Man: It has already been resolved. The rule about the chador was being taken too literally.
