...Turkish troops set foot on Cyprus, warned the Greeks, it would not only mean war with Greece but would inevitably start a slaughter of Turkish Cypriots that no number of Turkish soldiers would be able to prevent. Yet so great was the public pressure in Turkey on Premier Demirel for quick action that the Greeks themselves despaired that the warning could halt the train of events.

Unions, D'Alesandro rolled easily into his father's office and, behind him, the Democrats won every elective municipal post...
