New NYTimes Series on Iran

The NYTimes just started a seven part series on Iran centered around a Dutch journalist who is married to an Iranian.  The first part, above, shows some great scenes around Tehran and is fairly open, even mentioning the jailed American writer as well as how illegal good get into Iran.  For me it is a double winner as we start Iran as soon as we get back from spring break and it is a nice chance for me to get a glimpse into a place where I spent four wonderful years as a young boy.
