...Please accept my thanks for what TIME had to say about the regrettable photo-montage in Cologne's Stadt-Anzeiger [Jan. 22]. It was an excellent exposition of Cartoonist Harald Sattler's way of trying to be funny at the expense of our Shahanshah. However, TIME called the Shah an "Arab husband."

Technically, he calls himself an "ignostic," which Wine defines as someone who will only accept the truth of statements that can be empirically proved. "I find no adequate reason to accept the existence of a supreme person," he insists. although he is willing to change his mind if new evidence appears. Believing that "man's destiny and fulfillment" are more important than the idea...
