Seven Roaring Days. This month, Iran will hold a blowout the likes of which few countries have ever seen. For seven roaring days and seven joyous nights, it will celebrate the coronation of the man responsible for it all: Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, 47, Shahanshah (King of Kings), Aryamehr (Light of the Aryans), and absolute ruler of his nation. It will be history's most belated crowning, for the Shah has already occupied Iran's throne for 26 years. Until now, however, he had steadfastly rejected the idea of a formal coronation. "It is not a source of pride...
...Army drum and bugle corps blared an ear-splitting fanfare, the Navy Band came in on cue, and an Army detachment fired a 21-gun salute. Iran's Shahanshah (King of Kings), His Imperial Majesty Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, was properly impressed by the pomp, but his visit to Washington last week was no pleasure trip.

But as the Shah's skillful grand vizier, Alam has done more to modernize the Peacock Throne than any other Premier in the nation's history...
...Teheran, le grand Charles was welcomed by Iran's Shahanshah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, and his lovely Empress, Farah Diba-who share dulcet memories of France, since the Shah first met his young Queen-to-be while she was an architecture student in Paris. Through flag-bedecked streets rode De Gaulle in a gilded state carriage. Along the route, crowds chanted "Zindehbad [long live] De Gaulle," which turned out to be a particularly poetic cheer, since the visitor's name sounds like "Two Flowers" in Farsi, the Persian tongue. Ignoring Draconian security measures, Two Flowers moved right into...
