...black plane with the high tail looked out of place among the shiny military jets crowding the U.S. Air Force base at Incirlik, near Adana, Turkey. Its wide wings drooped with delicate languor-like a squatting seagull, too spent to fly. Its pilot seemed equally odd: a dark, aloof young man who wore a regulation flying suit and helmet but no markings, and had a revolver on his hip.

A carload of fresh lobsters was shipped in from the Bosporus, and 1,200 lambs were slaughtered for a huge kebab feast. Pointedly, the 66 Deputies of the opposition parties boycotted the ceremonies, and Menderes seized the occasion...
