...Toledo, it should have been child's play. Confidently the vacationing Shah of Iran, 45, stepped up to the line in a Cambridgeshire pub and lofted three darts at the board. Kerplop, kerplop, two flew wide and dropped to the floor. Setting aside her 'arf pint, Queen Farah Diba, 26, demurely followed her husband to the line. There was a gleam in the lady's eye. Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! She neatly ringed the bull's-eye. Farah pooh-poohed it all, but a bricklayer in the public side had an eye for form. "I wouldn...

Then they tooled into Rome where Fair Farah and the monarch, who had been working so hard at his land-and government-reform programs that his doctors had ordered a vacation, settled into the Iranian embassy...
...Teheran, le grand Charles was welcomed by Iran's Shahanshah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, and his lovely Empress, Farah Diba-who share dulcet memories of France, since the Shah first met his young Queen-to-be while she was an architecture student in Paris. Through flag-bedecked streets rode De Gaulle in a gilded state carriage. Along the route, crowds chanted "Zindehbad [long live] De Gaulle," which turned out to be a particularly poetic cheer, since the visitor's name sounds like "Two Flowers" in Farsi, the Persian tongue. Ignoring Draconian security measures, Two Flowers moved right into...
