...tell the attackers that the fight was over? The paratroopers hung their own shirts from the windows for recognition signals. The firing only grew heavier. They yelled to cut it out, but their friends could not hear. Then a U.S. paratrooper found a bullet-pierced German bugle. He thrust it out the window.

Sometimes guests take even heavier punishment. Once, on the way home with Broadway Producer Jed Harris, Spyros decided to stop off at a Greek wedding in Philadelphia and do a few other errands. Before they reached Mamaroneck some 16 hours later they had driven and flown 1,000 miles. Intensely proud of anything Greek, Spyros has named his five children Daphne, 21, Diana, 18, Dionysia, 17, Spyros Jr., 19, and Plato...
