...Greeks and 115,000 Turks living on Cyprus--a fact which the U.S. government can ignore just as it now ignores the repression of the Greek people by an illegal junta that is propped up by American aid. The tender peace that now exists in the entire eastern Mediterranean powder keg is threatened by Athens's illegal aggression. The smoldering strife between Greece and Turkey could explode as a result...

Immortalized in an agonized, thrusting morass...
...nonperishable items in bulk (but remember that meat requires a costly home freezer). Motor oil in bulk at a hardware or discount store can be half as expensive as single quarts at a filling station. Products like flour, sugar, soap powder and dry pet food can be bought in 10-, 20-or 25-lb. quantities, then poured into smaller containers at home. In many localities it pays to buy wine and hard liquor by the half-gallon, beer by the case and cigarettes by the carton...
