Last week Constantine's son, King Paul, was also in his gardened palace at Tatoi, outside Athens, and the whiskey was still good. But unlike his father, Paul did not want to go to America. He wanted to go to Britain, and his Premier would not let him, thereby precipitating a first-class political crisis...
