After Geneva, Carter planned to double back to London to address NATO leaders. This extra day in the British capital will give him a valuable opportunity to confer separately with Greek Premier Constantine Caramanlis and Turkish Premier Süleyman Demirel...
...underlying cause of the trouble is Cyprus. Three years ago, after an Athens-inspired coup against President-Archbishop Makarios, Turkey invaded the island to protect its Turkish minority. A strongly pro-Greek U.S. Congress responded by cutting off military aid to Ankara, which retaliated by taking control of 26 U.S. military installations in Turkey.

None of Costa-Gavras subsequent tracts has come close to capturing the gut-rending tension that glues the viewer of Z to the edge of his seat. Yves Montand turns in yet another tour de force as the pacifist legislator whose brutal assassination triggers the investigation that inexorably leads...
