Hermetic Alibi. An all-points bulletin snared the prosecutor less than an hour later in Victorville, 100 miles east of Naples, in a car headed home. He explained that he had driven his son's Volkswagen 300 miles to Las Vegas the night of the murders. At the time of the killings, Kirschke said, he had been en route to Las Vegas to address a Rotary convention. Witnesses backed his story.

Tanks and armored personnel carriers stood at every intersection, five of them with pointed barrels taking up posts outside Parliament. Greece's borders were closed, and its communications with the outside world stopped. No planes could land or take off, and arriving ships were turned away from ports. Suddenly, a land of 8,550,000 people, roughly the size of the state of New York, found itself totally...
