...military rulers sought was the blessing of the Greek Orthodox Church. Premier Constantine Kollias and the chief Ministers were sworn into office by Chrysostomos, the Primate of Greece, and one of the new government's first decrees was an order solemnly commanding Greece's young people to attend church. Last week the junta's reforming zeal turned on the church itself.

He called his parents "unwashed savages" before they died; and when they died, he did not trouble to attend their funerals. After 33 years of marriage marked by frequent periods of absenteeism, his wife sued him for divorce on grounds of desertion.
