VERY many people have tried to define our form of government. We have been called by some "a democracy without a Parliament." Others have defined us as a "dictatorship with democratic ideas." But the definitions are not interesting. What is interesting is that we believe that a Greek state within the framework of democracy must be developed now. In order that a democracy may exist, it must be borne by political parties. Before such permission is given, we must be certain that the citizens who will form the basic material of these parties have become mature citizens...
...nearly a month, Greece has been gripped by a bitter and highly significant struggle. On one side were the hard-lining former military officers, who sought to perpetuate their rigidly moralistic rule. Pitted against them were the more moderate revolutionary leaders, who favored an eventual return to some form of parliamentary government. After a series of shifts and political maneuvers, it is finally clear that the moderates, led by Premier George Papadopoulos, have emerged the winners. Their victory signaled the start of a new chapter in Greece's post-revolutionary development...
Chinese Torture. Grey, a rugged but wiry six-footer, has become tense and pale under this peculiar form of Chinese torture. At the second of two 20 minute visits that British diplomats have been allowed to pay him in 17 months, he complained of chest pains, reported that a Communist doctor conceded that he may have bronchitis-but would not do much about it. Guards deliver the People's Daily even though Grey cannot read Chinese. He grows weary of the Peking Review, an English-language Maoist propaganda magazine. He has a library in his upstairs quarters...
...prototype comes 15 months after CBS announced Goldmark's plans for a revolutionary "educational art form" that could turn every TV set into a teaching machine. Though an EVR owner will not be able to record his own programs, he will be able to order pre-made films on almost any topic. In theory, a family equipped with EVR will become a self-contained educational center: Junior will study the sex life of grasshoppers (the subject Goldmark drolly demonstrated last week), Father will settle back for an evening of golf lessons or an audio-visual version of LIFE...
...disbanded, LSD had given way to methedrine, and the crash pads echoed to the frenetic screams of "speed freaks"; the grisly murder of "Groovy" Hutchinson and Linda Fitzpatrick cast a pall over hippiedom. Only a small band of the movement's founders and gurus, including Hoffman, chose to form a political link with the ideological New Left. The result was the Youth International Party (YIP), which was founded at least partly in hopes of converting the angrily activist Students for a Democratic Society to a more lenient and joyful concept of revolution...
