...North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Though Socialist Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou has questioned Greece's place in the alliance, the country remains a member in good standing. Indeed, a government spokesman said last week that Greece would take part in NATO's surveillance of Eastern Europe by U.S. AW ACS radar planes. Under Secretary of Defense Antonios Drosoyannis called it "one of the most advantageous deals that Greece has gotten out of its alliance with NATO." That was surprising, since Papandreou has often declared that his country faces no threat from the Warsaw Pact. One clue to the inconsistency...
...blue shot (color-coordinated with the German uniform) 52 ft. ¾ in. Not bad; better than Thompson's best, though not quite up to Hingsen's. Then Thompson, in his first try, launched the shot 51 ft. 7 in., a new personal record, and sported an "aw shucks" grin to go with it. In the high jump, Hingsen did what he had to do.

Last summer, President Francois Mitterrand dispatched 2,000 soldiers and eight Mirage and Jaguar jets to forestall Soviet-and Libyan-backed insurgents intent on overthrowing the government of Chad's President Hisséne Habré. The U.S. provided AW ACS planes and antiaircraft missiles to Chad; it has also negotiated the use of port facilities and airstrips in Kenya and Somalia. "We are undergoing a second colonialization," protests a Tanzanian academic. "Our present leaders are just like the old tribal chiefs who signed pacts with colonizers...
