Conversation in Greece

Just how thin the situation could wear was emphasized by the bomb blast that thundered through the Athens National Gardens on October 4, moments after U.S. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird had laid a wreath at the tomb of Greece's Unknown Soldier a few hundred yards away. But the bomb blast aside, the Greek military junta has hardly been able to contain its glee over the visit by Laird and his traveling companion. It is no wonder the Laird visit has been viewed with such complacency, since it came within a month after the United States announced that it would resume sales of heavy arms to Greece.
