...accept my thanks for what TIME had to say about the regrettable photo-montage in Cologne's Stadt-Anzeiger [Jan. 22]. It was an excellent exposition of Cartoonist Harald Sattler's way of trying to be funny at the expense of our Shahanshah. However, TIME called the Shah an "Arab husband." But as the world knows, the Shah of Iran is neither an Arab nor does he act like an Arab husband...
...political satire, the photo-montage in Cologne's Stadt-Anzeiger early last month was both toothless and tasteless. There sat the Shah of Iran hungrily eying a smiling former King Saud of Arabia. Into Saud's hand Austrian Freelance Cartoonist Harald Sattler had drawn a sheaf of banknotes with the Shah saying: "Okay then, make it 30,000 and you can have Farah Diba."

For her he built one of his famed grillework facades on a $250,000 Manhattan town house, "just as," she explained, "the Shah Jahan did the Taj Mahal in India for his wife." But the Taj Mahal, of course, is a tomb, and behind the Stone front ember day came as well. Suing in Manhattan for a separation allowance of $6,500 a month, Maria Stone, now 38, charged that the 62-year-old architect...
