...revolution in neighboring Iraq sent an apprehensive shudder through Iran's top thousand families and made them more receptive to the Shah's reforms. Though Iran is a Moslem nation, its people are not Arab, and the Shah is thus insulated from the Nasser virus. The Soviet Union, through pudgy Ambassador Nikolai Pegov, has lately purred friendship and slyly supported Iran's claim to Britain's oil-rich Bahrein Island. The Soviet Union sent its dancers and acrobats, sponsored joint Russian-Iranian projects such as locust control on the border, even promised junketing President Kliment Voroshilov...

...causes-were as complex as the fuel-flow system of a new 707 jet. Eastern's mechanics, like those at T.W.A., originally wanted a whacking 49? an hour across-the-board boost (present wage: $2.51). Both lines offered 41? an hour over three years, or what the union won after a 37-day strike against Capital Airlines last month. Since then. National Airlines (see below) has signed for 44? an hour, to match Capital's hourly wage...
