Eleven dollars will buy a one-way air ticket from Athens to Crete, and still another unseen aspect of the Greek way: Candia's fragrant food bazaar, the Minoan ruins near Knossos, and the high Lasethi plateau, crammed with hundreds of white-sailed windmills. In any of the little plateau villages, a traveler can buy his lunch merely by hailing, say, the butcher, who will put a table outside and provide wine, bread and cheese, while curious, good-natured Greeks in baggy trousers, sashes, boots, brocaded vests and fierce mustaches gather round and ask the stranger's name...

One of the doubtful ac counts was a nearby hotel named Zeiger's, the other, the Anjopa Paper Co., in neighboring Napanoch, headed by Joseph Di Candia. Rose had poured thousands of dollars into the old broken-down paper mill, handled all its finances personally, rebuilt it into an apparently profitable concern. Once when Di Candia was picked up in Ellenville on a charge of passing bad checks in York, Pa., Rose even helped make the checks...
