Iran also supported Pakistan. In every Pakistani paper there were photo spreads of President Ayub Khan flanked on one side by the Shah of Iran and China's Chou Enlai, on the other by Indonesia's Sukarno and Turkey's President Güsel.

Her ever-after date, Aly Khan, would round up a group of friends in Paris and drag them all off to a horror film, then drop off to sleep, leaving instructions with Bettina to wake him instantly if he snored.
