Henceforth, they ordered, all signs, inscriptions and customarily white traffic-cop batons must be rendered in red. All books not reflecting Mao-think should be burned; recordings of works by such "feudal-bourgeois-revisionist" composers as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky must be banned.

Lightning he raced in the European Lightning Sailing Championships in his own home waters off Piraeus. Tanned and smiling, Greece's King Constantine, 26, had a casual rationale for being that far behind: "I haven't been training in Lightnings for the last two years." Besides, the King of the Hellenes had the satisfaction of presenting the winner's silver cup to a countryman, George Andreadis. Later, Constantine exchanged his striped boating shirt and sneakers...
