- A New Shade Of Shah

- <p> He was born Reza Cyrus Pahlavi, and by inheritance he is
- Shahanshah, King of Kings, master of the Peacock Throne. But
- last week Reza Shah II, 28, seemed to be campaigning for office,
- behavior quite beneath his late autocratic father Mohammed Reza
- Shah. In Los Angeles the exiled Iranian prince rallied a crowd
- of 12,000 royalists, saying, "Our struggle has started and shall
- conclude in victory." He is also talking like a democrat. In
- Washington, before an audience of 600 including Jeanne
- Kirkpatrick, he said, "My goal is not to restore the monarchy.
- We will abide by what the majority decide." Talking egalitarian
- is dandy, but how come people still call him Your Majesty?
