...Mexico, where he lived for almost five months before coming to the U.S. for medical treatment, he occupied a rented four-building compound with spacious gardens set inside a twelve-foot wall. He can afford a personal security force and a staff of servants-and he pays the $975-a-day bill for his New York hospital suite promptly. But the Shah last week whiled away much of his time in the unregal pastime that many hospital patients are reduced to: watching television. Said one of doctors: "He watches some real crap. Westerns. Detective movies. Bad romances...
...shipping concentrate to its Iranian bottlers, and Continental Telephone is proceeding with building a phone cable network for Tehran.

Colony's process, because of its size and capital investment, would be the most expensive: $1.5 billion to $2 billion for 50,000 bbl. of oil a day...

Shale opponents protest finally that the surface-retorting process leaves piles of rubble and dust behind that would ruin the pristine Rocky Mountain valleys. A 400,000-bbl.-a-day industry would require 500,000 tons of shale to be mined, retorted and in some cases relocated...
