...since it primarily involved Papandreou's son, he would not allow Papandreou to be the final judge of what action to take. Papandreou accused the King of unconstitutional meddling in politics, and resigned. His supporters went surging through the streets, rioting. It was the summer of 1965?the tensest time in Greece since the Communist insurgency...
