manners of death are not "recognizeq"

Turkish newspapers announced this
sad event in the following form: "Ktng

When the late shah of Persia was as
saSSinated the Turkish papers said:
in the afternoon the shah drove to his
summer palace and there complained
of illness. His corpse was sent to Te-
heran." One paper, however, exceeded
all others in simplifying" the piece OF
news by publishing this abSurdity;
"The shah felt y little i'll, but finally
his corpse returned to the palace"
