...Temperature. To leave things as they are is to leave Cyprus stalked by terror, rent by hatred, and engulfed by fear. In the past month six British civilians, nine British soldiers, 13 Greek Cypriots and three Turk Cypriot policemen have been killed-one a day since Britain, over Greek objections, began enforcing its "partnership" plan, dividing Greek and Turkish Cypriots in separate legislatures...

Furthermore, payoffs have been good; the Veterans Administration reported last week that veterans holding G.I. home loans have set a "remarkable" record by paying off some $11 billion in home mortgage debts...
