...three decades ago, when Day-Lewis and the rest of the famous Oxford circle (W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Stephen Spender) rumbled with even louder social comment. Like other "horizon-addicts and future-fans" of his time, Day-Lewis, in rebellion against his strict curate father, flirted briefly with Communism; he now recalls his stint as a party educator as "a signal instance of the blind leading the shortsighted."

Now, after changing to mufti in order to run as civilians for office in the elections provided for in the new constitution, the ex-colonels' attitudes appear more activist. They seem not only eager to suppress leftists but also to break the power of the Greek Establishment. Under the new constitution, the monarch will no longer have power...
