...external interference in its academic affairs. That's why it seemed strange when the University consented last year to aid the Iranian government--notorious for tight control over the minds and actions of its citizens--in founding a graduate research center in Iran. The policies of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi are, in many ways, diametrically opposed to precisely those ideals of free expression of speech and thought with which Harvard has always been associated...
After all the buildup, reported Prager, the event itself at the white and green canal authority building alongside the harbor was refreshingly short. There, 600 invited dignitaries, including Crown Prince Reza of Iran, 14, foreign ambassadors, and defense ministers and army generals of other Arab nations, occupied a ceremonial platform shaped like a pharaonic solar ship...
Only hours before Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi returned from a highly successful visit to the U.S., his capital was shaken by the assassination of two U.S. Air Force officers who had been working with the military-assistance mission in Iran.

Outside the White...

Two months ago during a dramatic summit of oil producers in Algiers, he and Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi embraced and agreed to end a long-running feud between their neighboring nations. Two weeks ago, Saddam Hussein was given a warm welcome by the Shah in Tehran, where until recently Iranian commentators had often referred to him as "the Baathist butcher." Last week he flew on to Bulgaria and Hungary...
