...richest, reddest carpet in Russia was none too good for the feet of the visiting Shah of Iran and his beauteous Queen Saroya when they arrived in Moscow last month. Unlike other foreign dignitaries who must be content with billets in the city's hotels or embassies, Iran's rulers, the first sovereigns to visit the Russian capital since 1928 (when the Shah of Afghanistan dropped by) were put up in an apartment within the walls of the Kremlin itself.
