Nor is the government radio likely to find any time for them. The amnesty does...
...polls. The junta naturally intends to organize its own party, which it is confident will gain enough favor with Greek voters to take advantage of such a provision. The constitution makes room for new blood in Greek politics by barring many old-time Greek politicians, including Andreas Papandreou, 49, the son of onetime Premier George Papandreou, who now lives in Sweden...
