Almost as a side thought, Nikita Khrushchev interrupted his word war for Berlin to threaten the Shah of Iran for "insulting" the Soviet Union. The effect was no side issue in Teheran. In a misconceived maneuver during negotiations for Iran's new bilateral agreement with the U.S., the Shah had invited his Soviet neighbors to make him a counteroffer-and then sent them away emptyhanded. "Iran treated us as if we were Luxembourg," huffed Soviet Ambassador Nikolai Pegov. Khrushchev centered all his abuse on the Shah and the Shah alone. "He fears not us but his own people," roared...
After weeks of woolly press speculation that she would marry the 39-year-old Shah of Iran (TIME, Feb. 2), Italy's tall, lissome Princess Maria Gabriella, 19, at last had her own say on the matchmaking. "I'll never marry a man I do not love," she told Rome's II Messaggero. "Since I do not love him, I will not marry the Shah of Iran, assuming he has indicated such a wish."

Washington also promised more aid. At week's end the Russians went home emptyhanded...
...three-column editorial headed "The Perfidious Policy of Iran," Pravda roared that the Shah's "two-faced dealings" would earn him the same dark fate as Cuba's Batista and Iraq's late King Feisal. If the Shah needed any precedent for his maneuverings he could cite the way Molotov bargained for weeks with the British in 1939 and then confronted them with the secretly drawn Stalin-Hiuer pact...
