AMERICANS ARE prone to see Greece as suffering because it is no longer demo- cratic. However, in terms of day to day activity the Greeks enjoy no more or no less freedom than we do. The main thrust of the regime now in power has been directed ; towards converting Greece from agrarian to a modern industrialized economy. Greece is being Americanized. The regime caters to American and French industry, offering favors in return such as anchorage for the sixth Fleet. The military regime came to power in 1967, a palace coup, bloodless. Not many lamented the passing of democ- racy, mainly because it wasn't working anyway; demonstrations and unrest were the rule before the regime put the lid on the jar. .«• Eight Hope College anchor February 16,1973
