...week's headlines, many other nagging problems confront U.S. foreign policy. In the Eastern Mediterranean, for example, all parties to the Cyprus dispute remain antagonistic toward the U.S. The Greeks are angered because the U.S. long supported the deposed right-wing junta and did not act to stop the Turkish invasion of Cyprus; in protest, the new Greek government pulled out of the NATO military command. The Turks are furious because the U.S. cut off military aid after they invaded Cyprus; they have threatened to close U.S. bases in Turkey. At the Ford Administration's urging, the Senate Foreign Relations...
...relaxed as his Air Force jet settled into a cross-weave routine of flights between Aswan, Tel Aviv and Damascus (see box following page). At midweek he was confident enough about the pace of discussions to undertake a side trip to Ankara, where he discussed the Cyprus situation with Turkish leaders. They displayed a greater willingness to discuss the future of the divided island with the government of Greece, even though the Turks remain angry about a congressionally imposed cutoff of U.S. military...
Onassis was not to the villa born. The son of a Greek tobacco merchant, he grew up in the Turkish city of Smyrna.

A Turkish-Cypriot policeman, Sermet Kani, 45, told of the eerie feeling of intrusion when he and his wife moved into their new house in Trikomo four months ago and found the previous owners' wedding pictures. "It is disturbing to think about living in a house where other people were living and to think of some Greek family living in our old house at Paphos," said Kani. "But we feel secure here.
