Notes

13.   Complications: The Maestro and the Shah: Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

  1.   The English title is ‘Falling in Love Again (Can’t Help It)’

25.   Stroke: The Neck of Vladimir Ilyich Uljanov: Lenin

  1.   The Soviet reports are not clear. I conclude from them that one bullet was lodged on the left side, deep in the lower part of the neck, where the neck continues into the shoulder region, and that the other got stuck more superficially under the skin above the right joint between the chest-bone and collarbone. There were no exit wounds. It would appear that Lenin was shot from the left side.
