...First Volley Sir: In your article on Cyprus [March 20], you state that "the latest battle began when Greeks fought Turks with bazookas," etc. This is a gross distortion of fact. The incident in Paphos to which you refer happened when the Turks started firing from a minaret near the market square at the milling crowd. ANDREAS FRANCOS Embassy of Cyprus Washington...

The Master's hand is evident everywhere...
