   non-Persians in Iran, so the national name, Iranian, does not map one to one   
   with Persian. Persian is also a language, part of the Iranian language family.

   Amazon doesn't show me an easy way to enter a book under a pseudonym.  Mr.   
   Burton is a co-author on DOMINIONS, so the search should work under either   
   name.   
      
   Al is a Grumpy Old Man like me, and often says or thinks things that he knows   
   are inaccurate or inappropriate.  Particularly under stress, as he is in that   
   passage.
