America's "lukewarm" position has discouraged the Resistauce Movement in Greece, said Mylonas, who escaped from house arrest last year. If the United States makes its position clear, "the days of the colonels are numbered." he added...
Four Principles. Since the end of the Congo rebellion in the mid-1960s, the U.S. has been content to maintain a profile so low as to be nearly invisible.

Couve de Murville is efficient but dull; he calls himself a "provisional Prime Minister" in jest, but Frenchmen have begun to agree. Debre is losing favor with De Gaulle because he is lukewarm toward the President's plans for decentralizing government. Education Minister Edgar Faure has lost stature as a result of continuing student unrest; last week rioters from the Lycee Saint Louis in Paris temporarily seized the Sorbonne, and at the new University of Vincennes agitators had to be driven...
