But both Premier Karamanlis and Foreign Minister Averoff insisted otherwise. The Turks described the Greek meeting with Tito and Nasser as attempted blackmail. The Greeks replied that they were merely conferring with a next-door neighbor and Balkan Pact ally (Yugoslavia) and a Mediterranean trading partner (Egypt, where 100,000 Greeks live).

On Cyprus, Colonel Grivas issued a defiant leaflet distributed by boys on bicycles. It described Foot...
...symbol of the vital nirvana which paves the way for the dazzling dawn of the butterfly, in its turn the symbol of the human soul." Any resemblance between Miltown and a chrysalis, doctors agreed, was confined to Dali's fancy. Still, the word chrysalis is derived from the Greek for gold, and no matter how untranquilizing Dali's work might be, as an attention-getter it was worth its weight in gold to Miltown...
