What of events back home? "Obviously, my heart is bleeding." One more move, north of the border? "It would depend on whether we were welcome." Henry Kissinger, for one, certainly believes they should...
...fellow citizens voted last week in a two-day referendum that would transform Iran from a dynastic monarchy into an Islamic republic, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi flew from his temporary home in exile, Morocco, to the Bahamas. The Shah, 59, Empress Farah, 40, their four children and an entourage of 30 took up residence in 15 units of the posh, bougainvillaea-studded Ocean Club on Paradise Island near Nassau...
