TIME Correspondent Christopher Byron was at the tiny fishing village of Porto Ran, 20 miles from Athens, when a small coastal steamer brought the prisoners to the mainland. "On hand to greet them was a crowd of over 2,000 screaming, weeping Athenians," Byron reported. "As the ship was sighted over the horizon, the crowd roared, 'Greece's heroes! Long live democracy! Poison to the E.S.A. dogs!' When the prisoners-journalists, educators, politicians, actors-came down the cargo ramp, thousands of arms hugged them. Many of them were pale and undernourished.

Faced with a parking ticket, the calculator owner can come up with Oh hELLS BELLS. To greet a friend, you divide 98 by 7 to get hl. A greater challenge is to ask friends what a golf duffer and the movie Casablanca have in common. If you punch 2572, add 87 and multiply by 12, and then hold the machine upside down, it will spell BOGIE...

In Damascus, students marched in a May Day parade carrying banners that read "We reject all peaceful settlements" and "Kissinger is a cheap American Jewish conspirator."
