The King had been shown a copy in Rome, to which he had fled after the failure of his inept countercoup, and apparently he found it palatable. The junta has also promised to announce the date for a plebiscite on the constitution-another move that would enable the King to save face. The most probable route for the King's return now seems to be through his sister, Princess Irene, 25, or, less likely, through one of his uncles. The King would appoint the relative as regent...
...Bring on the girls!" he would single out a heckler and ask: "You, sir, are you married? You never will be with that roller-derby jacket. What's your name? You don't know, you idiot-well, look inside your coat!" Or if the guy had a date, he would look at her and sadly inquire, "Was anyone else hurt in the accident?"

General Odysseus Anghelis, the army chief of staff and a junta supporter. In it, the King told...
...benefit performance or public function-a dinner for an old friend, a White House invitation, a sports-award shindig. Sometimes, when a benefit fails to raise its quota, Bob will write a personal check for the difference. Though he gets $20,000 to $25,000 for a college date, he always turns the check back to the college scholarship fund...
