...stringer Mario Modiano, Bell chartered the only plane at the airport that was not controlled by either Onassis or the Greek government. He was taken for a look at Onassis' private island of Skorpios, and he is still frightened. "The pilot passed so low over the harbor," says Bell, "that I could see the tattoos on sailors' arms...
...cypress grove above the harbor, workmen labored long and lovingly on the task of refurbishing the tiny, neoclassic Chapel of Panayitsa (the Little Virgin). The centuries-old ritual was prescribed by Greek Orthodox tradition. The wedding ceremony called for the couple to walk around the altar three times; bride and groom traditionally try to be the first to step on the other's feet (the winner is then able to claim supremacy in the household).

"These signs of success," Rowan says, "are nice things, appreciated and prized. But you know, more important and more rewarding than any of these things is doing your...
...trials; of a heart attack; in Hyannis, Mass. An able and wealthy lawyer who traced his ancestry to the nation's first Attorney General, Civil Libertarian Biddle often objected to the decisions of the times-as when thousands of Japanese nationals were interned following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He felt no qualms, however, in dealing with eight Nazi agents smuggled into the country in 1942, and demanded stiff sentences (six were executed). At Nurnberg, he staunchly defended the legality of the trials, noting that "criminal acts are committed by individuals, not by nations...
