...eager-eyed, met Constantine Kephaloyannis, 32, wealthy and handsome, it was a case of love at first sight of Constantine's mustache. It was also a case of near war (TIME, Sept. 4, 1950). Both came from prominent political families in Crete, but Constantine's family was Royalist, Tassoula's Liberal. Tassoula's father forbade the marriage, so Constantine grabbed Tassoula, carried her off to Mount Ida, where they were married in a lonely monastery, then hid in a cave protected by a private army of Constantine's family and friends...

Venizelos had been disgruntled ever since U.S. Ambassador Henry Grady intervened squarely in Greek politics last March, and gave a thumbsdown on a pro-royalist government headed by Liberal Venizelos. Instead, Greece got a coalition government under Middle-of-the-Roader Plastiras, who has been accused of being too soft toward the Communists. Five members of Venizelos' Liberal Party were represented in the coalition cabinet, but Venizelos himself stayed aloof. When Venizelos ordered the five to resign last fortnight, the cabinet promptly collapsed and King Paul entrusted Venizelos himself with the task of forming a new government. Plastiras...
