...down the National Liberation Front (EAM), the Communist-dominated coalition against the Germans. While these right-wing groups, many of them former collaborationists, carried out British policy, Churchill set up a parliament under George Papandreou. Tsoucalas argues that this "double structure of power, democratic in the political facade but Royalist-fascist in the forces of coercion, which was gradually built up from 1943, was to be a crucial factor in the future." This policy began a tradition of total independence of the Army from the political sphere...
...severe example of U. S. intervention there. With the intensification of the Cold War in 1950, the U. S. sent John Peurifoy as ambassador to set up an intransigently anti-Communist regime. He was successful. He managed to reorganize the Right under Field-Marshal Papagos, military leader of the Royalist faction during the thirties, leading supporter of dictator Metaxas (1936-40), and Commander-in-Chief of the national Greek Amry in the last winning phase of the civil war.

Pathet Lao quit the government, leaving Prince Souvanna Phouma, the Premier, in command of a neutralist-royalist coalition. In 1964, the Communists drove the neutralists from the Plain of Jars and set about creating their own "neutralist" wing from a nucleus of defectors. The Pathet Lao figure that a new coalition will be formed once peace comes to Viet Nam, and they hope to control at least...
...past month, opponents of the 271-month-old junta led by Premier George Papadopoulos have set off ten bombs in Athens, including two in government offices. Resistance groups are proliferating in Greece. One of the larger organizations is the Free Greeks, composed of royalist ex-officers. Nearer the center of the political spectrum is the Democratic League, whose leaflets urge Greeks, "If you can't say it with votes, say it with bombs." Then there is the Patriotic Front, run by the Communists. There are also the Restless ex-Friends of the Revolution; onetime supporters of the junta...
