For seven years he worked as an assistant to the Los Angeles county coroner, and in late 1967 was named coroner himself. Six months later, he per formed the autopsy on Senator Robert F. Kennedy...

Though they get most of the publicity, they are only the two most conspicuous men in a large group of Greek shipping magnates, most of whom are known in nautical circles as the "other Greeks." While the Golden Greeks ardently seek publicity, the other Greeks shun it.
