...hand-picked members of Bertrand Russell's "International War Crimes Tribunal" were all dolled up for their denunciation scene. French Novelist Simone de Beauvoir glittered in a silver lame blouse, while Playwright Peter Weiss, who had worn a corduroy jacket all week, donned a grey, striped business suit for the occasion. But all the pomp and ceremony could not add one bit of suspense to the peacenik extravaganza-or respectability to the "verdict."

Half a dozen or so central characters, wearing both the blue and the grey, move forward to the conflict.

His foes charged that he was the grey eminence behind Aspida (meaning shield), a plot in which a group of junior army officers sought in 1965 to install a socialist regime. Fifteen officers were jailed after a trial, and the government seemed ready to arrest Andreas when Parliament's current session closed and his immunity ended...
