Danny O' Day Held Hostage, Part 2: History Repeating


In 1978, a handful of American journalists were taken hostage in Iran.

It was a tense time for America and some consider the international incident to be the killing blow to the Carter presidency. The hostages were ultimately freed, a B-movie star replaced Jimmy Carter and all was well.... but it seemed Tehran still wasn't satisfied.

In 1981 the Daily Creative Department was suddenly faced with its own Hostage Crisis...and one of their ranks was in terrible danger...


Rare photo showing a captive Danny gagged as well as blindfolded
(which is a little unncessary, since you could shut him up just by not
moving his lips) and being held at exacto-knifepoint.
