...contrast to what happened on the occasion of previous attacks on El Al-a skyjacking over the Mediterranean last July and an automatic-rifle assault in Athens in December-the international community this time was prompt in its protest. United Nations Secretary General U Thant described the attack as "criminal and dastardly." Britain, France, the Vatican and the U.S. issued condemnations. Washington also promised to raise the subject of protection of commercial aircraft at a council meeting this week of the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal...
...elder Spyros is chairman and his son president of a Manhattan-based family holding company called Admiralty Enterprises Inc., which owns seven ships. Two of them, tankers that the family had built in 1957, are out on charter. The other five, which serve lucrative cargo routes to the Mediterranean, belong to the Prudential Lines, which the Skourases have owned since 1960.

With a coastline on both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, it is the westernmost nation in Africa, which may account for the fact that it was the first African state to sign a treaty of friendship with the U.S. -in 1787. And with only the eight-mile-wide Strait of Gibraltar separating it from Europe, its ambiance...
ZORBA. Producer-Director Harold Prince has turned out a brassy bit of Broadwayana that is as far from the Mediterranean basin as is Shubert Alley. Herschel Bernardi is never really possessed by the role of the grizzled Dionysian pagan, and the bouzouki music sounds as if it were piped in by Muzak...
