...offer Hughes Rudd one bottle of ouzo for each drop of Greek blood that he can find in the veins of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, formerly a Prince of Greece [Nov. 1]. "Phil the Greek" aside, the Greek royal family is a junior branch of the Danish royal house, which is mostly North German in origin. Ergo, Philip is not one of your restaurant Greeks be cause he is not of Greek descent - as Mr. Rudd will have...

...hard work has always been a way of life. Growing up in Old Town, Chicago's tough ethnic crucible, Ron learned the Protestant virtues from his sea-captain father, an immigrant from Denmark; he learned to cram pennies into jars and projects into leisure time. By driving his Royal Crown Cola truck long hours, sometimes from 7 in the morning to as late as 10 at night, Ron earns $17,700 a year in wages and commissions and has bought his family the $27,000, two-story house that they share with his father and stepmother on the city...
