...improving, in some fashion, this rapidly worsening situation. She invited Greece and herself--and, most important, Turkey. Turkey, one could say, has a legitimate interest in Cyprus, since the island lies within sight of her southeastern shore and since one-fifth of the Cypriot populace is Turkish; but the government in Ankara had, to this point, been quite nonchalant about the whole affair. Confronting Greece with Turkey was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. In no time at all the struggle for Cyprus had a third participant...

She did. With fundamental gesture-and no clothing save a pair of black lace panties-Haisch Nanah, 24, turned U.S. Socialite Peter Howard's birthday party for an Italian countess into haischish.
