Greece is a nation of small towns, most of them mountain-isolated, fiercely independent, suspicious and resentful. Almost half the 11,516 settlements in the country are hamlets of fewer than 200 people.

Last week Senior Partner Eugene Wyman himself squired Sanders to lunch at The Bistro, a modish Beverly Hills restaurant. They had hardly looked at the menu when some of Wyman-Ku-chel's more or less celebrated clients just happened...
