Elle Magazine (France) 20 Aout 1969

Paul Giannoli l'a rencontré pour ELLE: aujourd'hui, il n'appartient plus aux mille et une nuits mais c'est un jeune homme bien inséré dans son époque. Karim Aga Khan est moins un "dieu vivant", qu'un homme d'affaires et un chef religieux responsable de millions d'âmes qui n'a presque plus de temps pour les plaisirs de la vie.

Ladies and Gentlemen
It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity to address this inaugural session of the World Mountain Forum.
I am especially happy that the Ismaili Imamat has been given the opportunity to participate in a Forum organised by and for all those concerned with the difficulties facing the populations of mountain regions, and to share lessons that have been learnt, to exchange mutual experience and advice, to better identify the problems that exist, and to try, as part of a joint effort, to propose new and more efficient solutions.

Dalakhani maintained his unbeaten record in most impressive style as he galloped away with the Prix du Jockey-Club at Chantilly.

Even Super Celebre, the only real challenger to emerge from out of the pack in the home straight in pursuit of the winner, was flattered to get within two lengths at the line.
Coroner finished a further three lengths away in third place.
