Iran News poster 52l, Qom well capped, Kinley (Farsi, distributed in Tehran)
A Farsi 'Latest News' cinema sheet in blue with an arabesque border and three photographs of the Qom oil well. Captions say Iranian and American oil-company engineers, with Kinley's cooperation, prepare the means to control the 'runaway' well, and that Kinley is a well-known American expert. The tell is testimonial: a named foreign expert's authority is the news.
