...that the Paitilla Center lacked the equipment and support personnel needed for the spleen operation. Several of the doctors are said to have advised removal of the Shah to a large U.S. medical center, or at least to Gorgas Hospital, a well-equipped American military hospital in the former Canal Zone. On his flight to Panama, Jordan and Cutler were accompanied by an as yet unnamed physician, selected by the White House. Nonetheless, an Administration spokesman insisted at week's end that there were no plans to admit the monarch to Gorgas...
...roughly 35 miles from the Shah's rented home in exile on Contadora Island. At week's end the monarch moved into a suite of six rooms and a solarium in the modernistic, whitewashed hospital, which offers a breathtaking view of the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. Gorgas Hospital, still operated by the U.S. military in the former Canal Zone, is one of the best-equipped medical facilities in Central America.

We intend to be respected throughout the world...

While there was no rekindling of the flames of "Trudeaumania" during the campaign, he racked up an impressive personal victory in his home district of Mount Royal in Montreal. He won a total of nearly 36,000, or 82% of the vote. Even before election day, his hapless Tory opponent, Harry Bloomfield, conceded...
