Letter from Greece

Why the Fuss?

Kalymnos—Tastes differ about foreign countries, just as about cars, paintings, dogs and other complex essences. You adore France, and I find it greedy; Jerry wouldn’t spend a vacation anywhere but in Ireland, and Jim is bored stiff there; Mr. A is sure Japan is the country of the future, but Mr. B has put his money on Brazil. Lack of agreement about Greece is therefore normal, but the scope of the public argument over Greece that has gone on continuously since the Colonels took power in April 1967 is in several ways puzzling.
