US prof’s quixotic quest to be Iran prez

An Iranian-American who has lived in the United States for 40 years wants to be the next president of Iran. Hooshang Amirahmadi has been a professor at Rutgers University for nearly 30 years. Amirahmadi declared his intentions last year and is hopscotching the globe to raise money. The campaign is a long shot, as the liberal professor must win approval of the country’s religious leaders first.
