...Vienna (TIME, Jan. 5, 1976). Verfassungsschutz advised Interatom of Traube's dubious friendships; they decided against dismissing him immediately on the theory that he might go underground and threaten nuclear revenge. Nine days after the OPEC raid, an agent interrupted Traube on a skiing holiday at St. Moritz to ask him about Klein; meanwhile, others broke into his home and planted...
...lives well off the fruits of all this labor. He owns a house in St.-Moritz, rents others in St.-Tropez and Anif, near Salzburg. After his back surgery, he can again pilot a jet (a new Dassault Falcon 10). "The joy of flying has nothing to do with speed," he remarks. "You prepare and do well at the moment.

Do they, then, these voyagers inspired by visions of icy glasses of rum-and-coke...
...Shah has five palaces. Each winter the family skis at St. Moritz from a villa named Suvretta that was once owned by Movie Actress Audrey Hepburn. The Shah moves between his residences by helicopter or JetStar corporate jet, using the national Iranair fleet for larger hops. His recent visit to Australia required three jets, including one Boeing 707 used solely for luggage. Inside Iran, where the alert ears of SAVAK may be tuned toward caustic remarks, there is little open criticism of the way in which the Shah is building his Great Civilization. Outside Iran his development has been praised...
