...keep them waiting long. Even before he flew back from a brief holiday in Bermuda, the government's Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources was at work on a massive $250 million road-building program designed to open up the Far North, give substance to the Prime Minister's fervent, oft-voiced "vision of national destiny."

Last week Athanassios. 70, and Soultana, 60, were living together in a one-room apartment in the northern Greek town of Edessa. "I am not unfaithful to my husband." said Soultana.
