Sitting lotus fashion on a small rug in his cottage, Khomeini these days receives a constant stream of Iranian visitors and inquisitive reporters. In a voice barely above a whisper, he issues unrelenting calls for a jihad (holy war) against the Shah and his replacement by a democratically elected Islamic republic, which Khomeini professes no interest in heading. He wants to reduce Western influence in Iran. The appointment of the new military government, he told TIME Paris Correspondent Sandy Burton last week, "will not change anything.
