...constitution encases Greek society, and particularly the institution of the monarchy, in a considerable amount of plaster. Though welcomed by many Greeks as a first move toward a return to parliamentary rule, it is, in fact, a carefully balanced document that retains for the junta much of its vast power even while re-establishing the trappings of democratic rule...
Before Franco made his move, Juan Carlos made a key decision of his own. Until recently, the prince (and husband of Greece's Princess Sophie, stormy Frederika's daughter) often vowed that he would "never, never" accept the throne as long as his father remained alive. This year, at last convinced that Don Juan could never become King, Juan Carlos began staking out his own claim.

When the outnumbered troops started to move forward to fight it out hand to hand, their commander, General Sir Colin Campbell, halted them only by bellowing out: "Ninety-third! Ninety-third!
