...33rd year of an often uncertain reign, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi has brought Iran to a threshold of grandeur that is at least analogous to what Cyrus the Great achieved for ancient Persia. Items...
...week's end it seemed uncertain whether this sense of strength could be translated into significant decisions at Rabat. The Arab leaders generally agreed on two principal objectives: 1) regaining territory occupied by Israel and 2) achieving what they regard as the just rights of the Palestinians.

But breathing life into this Pulcinella is rather like trying to revive a dead tree by gluing fallen leaves back onto its limbs...
