Since Greek Socialist Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, 65, came to power almost three years ago, his erratic and often acerbic pronouncements have exasperated his NATO allies. Washington, in particular, has grown increasingly irritated at what some officials regard as Papandreou's "anti-American, proSoviet, pro-terrorist" policies. Last week it was revealed that on June 26 the Greek Ambassador to the U.S., George Papoulias, was summoned to the State Department, where he was informed by Assistant Secretary of State Richard Burt that the U.S. was considering denying a Greek request for surplus military aircraft: 16 F-5 fighters...

Instead of the stagnation that had been expected this year, the economy is now growing at a rate of about 1%, with a similar outlook for 1985, according to Jean-Marie Chevalier, Professor of Economics at the University of Paris Nord...

Italy's big loser was Prime Minister Bettino Craxi, whose Socialist Party lost .2% from its 11.4% score in 1983. Craxi in effect had won the Prime Minister's job last Aug. 4 by threatening to force new elections on the reluctant Christian Democrats, who feared a further setback. Now such pressure may not have the same effect: Craxi's days in power could be numbered if the Christian Democrats decide to bring him down. The decline of smaller center groups left the Christian Democrats and the Communists, known in Italy as the "two whales," to continue...
