Though George Papandreou's party polled an unprecedented 53% of the vote in Greece's 1964 elections, he was forced out as Premier after 17 months when Son Andreas was accused of being part of a traitorous conspiracy known as Aspida...
Although most U.S. theologians are somewhat reluctant to openly challenge traditional church views on the indissolubility of marriage and the sinfulness of premarital sex, there is some support for these proposals.
