...members, and candidates must be either 1) native-born Greeks, or 2) citizens who have been naturalized for at least ten years, or 3) those who have held renewed Greek citizenship for at least five years after becoming citizens of foreign countries-a clause that would disqualify Leftist Andreas Papandreou from any election that might be held this year.* Banned from participation in Greek politics will be "all parties whose aims or the activity of whose members is openly or covertly opposed to the fundamental principles of the state or (designed to overthrow the prevailing social order...
Sprung from jail at Christmas but still living under total mouth arrest, Andreas Papandreou, 48, son of former Greek Premier George Papandreou and one of the most nettlesome critics of Greece's military junta, has decided to carry on elsewhere. Papandreou will return to the U.S., where he taught economics at Berkeley from 1955 to 1959, and will presumably accept one of the academic offers he has received from Northwestern, Brandeis and Berkeley.

First, Premier George Papadopoulos expansively told newsmen that all prisoners who had been jailed for political reasons since the military seized power eight months ago would be freed.

This time Constantine had little choice but to accept a diminished status for the Palace. "Let us be perfectly realistic," he said in his first public statement since he left Greece.

...wake of the coup, which had been suppressed without bloodshed, the junta arrested a score of leading politicians who were suspected of conspiring with the King, put old George Papandreou back under house arrest, and seized several of the King's staff members. But toward the King himself the junta acted with restraint. At a press conference, Colonel Papadopoulos, who had taken over as Premier, insisted that the King had been misled. Had he known what the King was up to? Replied Papadopoulos: "Had I known, I personally-and the others-would have tried to enlighten...
