With Demirel unable to muster a majority in parliament and with Ecevit anxious to foil him at every turn, the legislature has not been able to enact a law for at least six months.

But just as clearly, he was also elated. The President was home from his ninth and probably his most successful summit with U.S. allies. The two days...
