Flying into Ankara last week to celebrate Greece's post-Cyprus reconciliation with Turkey, Greek Premier Constantine Karamanlis was greeted by a scene of happy unity-crowds of cheering adults and waving children docilely respecting a human fence of smart, white-gloved soldiers.

LIFE'S program includes changes in "product, pricing and production." On the editorial side, said Editor in Chief Henry R.
