...that women, when they are in power, are much harsher than men ... You're schemers, you're evil. Every one of you." The misogynist? Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, 54, in an interview with idol-smashing Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci published in the New Republic. Fallaci, whose belt already holds the scalps of Henry Kissinger, Willy Brandt and Nguyen Van Thieu, scored again with the revelation that the Shah is not, after all, a ladies' man.

Golda Meir, the 74-year-old Premier of Israel, talking to Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaei for Ms., decided to set a few things straight. Ben-Gurion's calling her "the only man in my Cabinet" was "just a legend." Had she ever killed anyone in Israel's years of war? "No . . . I learned to shoot, of course, but I've never had to kill anyone. I'm not saying...
