...Adnan Menderes in 1960 and executed him, the military ruled ineffectually for 18 months, then let civilians take over. Durable Ismet Ino-nu became Premier, decided to try to hold the country together amidst the lingering bitterness without curbing parliamentary democracy. Probably no one else could have done it. Inonu, 80, seemed like an embodiment of Turkey's past: born under the Sultanate, he was one of Kemal Ataturk's most dashing revolutionary generals, first became Prime Minister in 1923, served on and off as Premier or President of Turkey for 40 years.

The end of the trail might well be the jailhouse again, for at week's end the public prosecutor began proceedings against...

It turned out that Cumhuriyet had published an article by Alkilic entitled "Socialism Is the Only Salvation for Turkey"-one of a score submitted in the newspaper's annual essay contest...
