Η ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ
The Time for Mr. Papandreou
to Retire Is Now!
By Prof. ROY MACRIDIS
Brandeis University
For many years, writing in the Vima and Kaιhemerίni for
the Greek public and in many American papers andjournals
Ι expressed my very serious doubts about the ex-Prime
Minister's integrity and about the wisdom of his policies for
a small country like Greece. Ι n my book Greek Politiι·s α ι the
Cross Roads- What Kind of Socialism (Stanford University
Press) that was translated into Greek, Ι concluded that
Papandreou's socialism was only a slogan - often used by
many other populist leaders which, when combined with
nationalism and his personal charisma, gave him electoral
victories. But there were no solid foundations; economic
development plans; no structured foreign policy. AntiAmericanism was a convenient slogan. Like the early slogans of "anti-Europeanism" it was bound sooner or later to
be modified by the realites of the international economy.
What Greece needed most were investments to modernize its
economy; what it needed even more was a comprehensive
system of education - not a politically radicalized educational and university environment; what it needed above all
was a period of tranquility and hard work to release the
talents of its people into productive activities- not ideological crusades. And of course what was needed -in the name of
socialism - was to put an end to corruption.
My criticisms were not well received. Both in Greece and
among many Greek-Americans Ι was accused of engaging in
"anti-Greek" and "anti-national" campaigns. Many felt that
it was wrong for me to criticize Papandreou's leadership
because in so doing Ι was undermining Greece! Ι reminded
all of them that Ι had done exactly the same thing when the
military junta was in power. In fact Ι had organized a
Committee for the reestablishment of democracy in Greece
and Ι was ίη part responsible for sending an offer to Papandreou to come and teach at the University where Ι had been
teaching at the time he was in jail! Not only was he my
school-mate in Athens College but we studied together at
Harvard for two years and taught in the same Universities.
Not only was he an 'Όld friend" (but friendship was not a
meaningful idea to him) but Ι saw in him a real hope for the
modernization and the development of the country after the
military junta. He disappointed me and many others.
After eight years of Socialist rule Greece is now in shambles and all we can do is to try to put the pieces together:
a) The foreign debt has grown and is growing by leaps and
bounds.
b) Inflation continues.
NOVEMBER, 1989
c) The balance of trade remaίns adverse.
d) Unemployment has become endemic- as the number
of people working in public services grows.
e) Νο economic modernization comparable to that of
Spain or Italy or even Portugal has taken place - _no_t to
speak of the miracle of the NICs (the Newly lndustrιalιzed
Countries). Yet Greece had all the capabilities to move
forward.
f) The universities, the schools and the Hospitals are in a
state of disarray.
g) The underprivileged - to whose rescue Papandreou
pretended to have come - remain exactly where they were
before. Just as underprivileged as ever! Why else would
almost one million vote for the Communist Party? It is to
protest their situation.
h) Over and above, corruption and scandals, to which
assassinations of important persons and acts of terrorism
have began to manifest themselves, have made the climate of
everyday life just as bad as the nefos that continues to hang
over Α thens.
If the crisis continues the Greeks may again acquiesce to a
temporary military take over - to a popular or military
Cincinnatus. Democracy can not last long in a context of
constant conflict, tension, accusations and counter accusations corruption and graft. As J ohn Short Mill remarked, it
"requ,ires a calm mind." This is the last thing we can find in
Greece today!
There maybe a solution before the election. It is for Mr.
Papandreou to withdraw from the political scene and for the
President to pardon him, but only after he returns to the
public what he unlawfully took away! ln this manner the
country can return to some kind of normalcy in order to
have an election about issues and future policies- not about
the past. Those who constantly quarrel about their past have
no future. Let Nea Democratia present its program; let the
Communists present their platform and let PASOK follow
its own course. Is it a party with genuine political ideas and a
platform or is it a band of followers about to lose ther
leader?
After so many years of demagoguery, rhetoric and false
ideological exhortations it is time for Papandreou to act like
a statesman - to retire from the political scene full of the
turmuil that he leaves behind him. He is free of course to
seek asylum elsewhere. But this time few academics in this
country will invite him as we did in 1967.

VASSILI LAMBRINOS

Ι
F the ghosts of yesterd<1y's seafarers
could peer through the Ωoor-to­
ceiling windows of Vassili Lambήnos's thirtieth-floor apartment, they
would be pleased. For there, on Vassili's
canvasses, they would feast their eyes on
vibrant details of their beloved vessels,
from caiques to tankers, their crumbling, tired exteriors glorified. T hese
fragments, of portholes and prows, of
NOVEMBER, 1989
rusty metal screws and corroding hulls,
weatherbeaten wood planks and peeling
paint, don't speak of castaways but of
conquerors ofthe seas. They are imbued
with the artist's romantic vision of the
sea, its history and formidable power,
and they salute Greece and her islands
for the my riad of visual pleasures they
have provided Vassili through the years.
Το those who take in these works for the
first of one hundreth time, they conjure
up all sorts of images- of heroic deeds
(fishing boats stealthily transporting
cargoes of Resistance fighters from
"Alexandria to Raffina" without raising
the suspicions ofthe Germans); ofsu rvival (vicious, swirling sto rms threatening
to overtum vessels laden wi.th exotic oils
and spices and secrets of the Middle
East); and of tender moments (fathers
7
taking their young sons out to sea for
lazy days of fishing, diving, daydream-
ing, and lessons on manhood).
Growing up in Egypt, in the Greek
"Step Ladder", 50"Χ40", 1983
community of Port Fouad, just across
the Suez Canal from Port Said, Vassili's
playgrounds were marinas and shipyards, and the busy Canal that wed the
Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea.
There bega n his passion for all things,
big and small, associated with the sea.
In Vassili's renderings, subjects that, at
first glance, may not seem so dignified,
pulsate with a rhythm clearly their own:
straw fishing baskets bursting with the
catch of the day, sponges left lying on
the docks to dry, and the "ropes".
Stretched out lightly or coiled like
snakes, intricately knotted ot strung
together to create a ladder, the inclination is to reach out and grab them. They
seem so "alive". And in Vassili's portraits of the sea, its shimmering waters
reflecting now the sun in all its glory,
now the sun taking its final bow before
settling in for the night, memories are
unleashed, of moments spent absentmindedly gazing into the crystal clear
waters of the Aegean, of a certain evening's languid stroll along the shore perfectly content to think no thoughts at
all. Vassili's seascapes fill us up with a
good old fashioned helping of nostalgia
and a real sense of well being.
It seems that Vassili Lambrinos captures one specific moment in the life of
his subject. You can't help but feel that
if you focus your attention elsewhere
even for a split second, the image will
shift slightly and go ση to its next

moment of "being''. But, of course, it
doesn't. Το create the threedimensional texture that gives way to
this feeling of rhythm and energy in his
works, Vassili uses various palette
knives to apply to the canvas delicate
strokes of oil paint, and his fingers,
occasionally, for a smoother application of paint. Very precise work is
involved so that each drop of paint finds
its proper placement and then built up,
slowly, to many layers. It took him
years to develop his style, to know what
it was he wanted to paint and how to
paint people ('Όnly those Ι liked") and
sweeping fields of poppies and olive
groves, village squares and island harbors, and even a bakery's full display of
freshly baked loaves. As time went on
he zoomed in on his subjects to concentrate on the expressive details, capturing the very heart of his subject, and, as
he did, his work became more and more
abstract. Vassili's exuberance for life is
evident in his paintings. They are at
once balanced compositions and lyrical
representations of common-place
objects that are given a second chance at
life.

children born to parents who trace their
origins to the island of Kassos in the
Dodecanese. He entered the world in

1926. His father worked for the Suez
Canal Company and his mother made
sure the children were exposed to as
much learning as possible. For Vassili
that meant Greek school, with classes in
languages (French and English in addition to Greek~later he added ltalian
and Spanish), all the basics, and draw- ·
ing, piano, and dance. Summers were
spent on various Greek islands, affording Vassili the opportunity to acquaint
himself with the beauties of the Aegean
and Ionian Seas and store away the
images that would later be the focus of
his paintings. An athletic child, he was
often called upon by the school's ballet
teacher to partner the fledging ballerinas, gliding them across the floor in his
sturdy arms. Saturday and Wednesday
afternoon tea dances held after school
at an old colonial hotel in town found
Vassili to be among the most eager participants. When visiting Greek theater
companies such as Sophia Vembo's
needed a child actor to perform a role,
Vassili was inevitably called in. And he
always stole time away from his other
activities in order to continue his drawings and watercolors, to serenade the
dolphins with his harmonica, and, with
9
his friends, to swίm around and under
the boats tied up ίη the harbor. When ίt
came tίme for him to attend high school,
he was sent to Port Said. Not only could
he now have the opportunity to traverse
the Suez Canal by ferry boat most every
day, but in his later high school years,
when he switched over from a Greek
school to an English boy's school, he
could also participate in the sort of
sports that only the Brίtish offered, such ..
as rugby and boxing.
After graduation he wasn't quite sure
what he wanted to do. Instead of taking
to the sea, as hίs love for it might dictate,
he reached for the sky. He joined the
Royal Hellenic Air Force, which was
then attached to the RAF, and was sent
to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)
for British training. Having earned hίs
pilot's wings, he found himself ίη
Athens awaitίng assignment when he
suggested to a fellow pilot and frίend
that they take an exercίse class. Why not
ballet lessons, Vassili suggested, and
why not take them with the best teacher
of all, Elly Zouroudί. The two pίlots
went to see her one evening when they
were sure no one else would be around
and asked her, a former Resistance fighter, ίf she would accept them as students. Νο one was to know, however.
How would ίt appear to others if they
were to learn that these two fighter
pίlots were taking ballet lessons? Wίthίn
a matter of days, all of Athens knew, but
they contίnued their lessons just the
same. lt was soon apparent to Vassili
that he was far more ίnterested in choreography than he was in dancing, and

garde. The next eight years find Vassili
crossing the Atlantic often. In 1953, his
ballet "Converto", inspired by Grieg's
Piano Concerto Νο , Ι, was performed
by the London Festival Ballet at London's Festival Hall. lt was the coronation season (Queen Elizabeth ΙΙ was
now the mistress of Buckingham
Palace) and London was the place to be.
So triumphant was "Concerto", he was
asked to choreograph another ballet for
the London Festiνal Ballet, "Laurel
Crown", with a score provided by
Michael Hobson. In 1955, a pas de deux
was created for Les Etoiles de Paris,
and, in 1957, the ballet "Counterpoint
of Love" with the music of Alanah
Delias, performed by the Argentίnίan
company, Grand Ballet of the Marquis
de Cuevas, traveled with its choreographer, to halls in Paris, Cannes, and
elsewhere in Europe. Back in Buenos
ΗΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ
Aires in Ι 958, the Colon Opera House
provided the stage for his ballets based
on Ravel's 'Όaphne and Chloe" and
Morton Gould's 'Ίnterplay". Success
was now clearly his.
Aside from the stage, in Ι 953, he
entered the world of motion pictures
and television when he choreographed
an Argentinian ballet film, "Crystal
Birds". After that he was to contribute
significantly to these media, in more ways
than one. The year 1954 marked his
debut as a director, with Jean Giraudoux's 'Όrestia", and a year later, he
starred in the Argentinian film "Bitter
Stems", for which Vassili was awarded
the best actor award by the Cinematographic lnstitute of Argentina. He
hosted his own TV musical program
and was named Artistic Director of
Ballet for Argentina's Ministry of
Education.
With the introductions of Anthony
Tudor and other ballet friends he
plunged into the hectic goings-on of the
cultural capital of the world. Soon he
was teaching at the International Ballet
School at Carnegie Hall. In time he
would direct and choreograph Euή­
pides' "The Bacchants" for Lincoln
Center Library, Eugene lonesco's 'The
Chairs", and serve as consultant on Hal
Prince's production of "Zorba".

When he had his fill ofwaitingforthe

Το paint. But in between he took the
time to act. His first Ameήcan film,
''lsland of Love", starήng Robert Preston, Tony Randall, and Walter Matthau, was filmed in, of all places,
Greece. Then came a co-starring role
Not long after his arrival ίη New
York, however, he headed out to Los
Angeles with a movie contract in hand,
provided by an agent and a movie producer who believed that the tall and
handsome and elegant choreographer
and director ought to be in pictures.
Once there, instead of playing for the
cameras, Vassili spent most of his days
visiting with Cecil Everley, an English
painter whom he had befriended earlier
in Monte Carlo and who was now living
in Santa Barbara. An actors' strike had
put a halt to all movie production, so
Vassili watched withintrigueonceagain
as the painter used to palette knife to
move paint onto his canvasses. This is
for me, he thought. His love of painting
was reawakened dramatically during"Prow", 22"XI8"
the ten weeks he was there, to the point
where he knew he had set it aside for far opposite Debbie Reynolds ίη "The

But he never turned his back on his
heritage. Among his most favoήte projects was his choreographic marriage of
Greek folkloric dance and classical
ballet. There are 52 dances in the Greek
repertoire, Vassili tells me, and he is
fond ofthem all. Withcostumes created
by the tailor of the Greek Royal Guard
and the costume designer Skalido, his
dancers, mostly particularly his "Caryatids", mesmerized audiences ίη Buenos
Aires. It must not have been a happy
day for them when, ίη Ι 959, they bade
farewell to Vassili Lambrinos. He, on
the other hand, was welcomed warmly
by the ballet community in what would
soon become his new home, New York
City.

Peter Bogdanovich's film "They All
Laughed" with Audrey Hepbum, and,
most recently, co-starήng roles in "Last

Richard Crenna. And there were commercials- For Folger's Coffee, Revlon,
Ragu, Sprite, Olympic Airways ("Niko
from Crete"). He was the aristocratic
European in tux, the Mexican picking
grapes for Gallo wine, the Italian
recommending Chunky Chicken Chow
Mein. As long as the acting didn't interfere with his painting, and the part was
good, he could be persuaded into taking
it.
First and fo remost, Vassili Lambrinos devotes himself to his artwork.
He visits Greece often and leaves with
images swirling in his head, of docks
and bays, seascapes and blue skies and
brilliant sunshine. Α wonderful contradiction to the great big canvas of New
York City stretched out dramatically
just beyond his windows, ever changing
as humongous steel and glass and concrete structures go up or come down,
clouds release their moisture, the sun its
blaze, the moon its magic. In his spacious living room, surrounded by so
many things of beauty, most particularly
his paintings which are framed only by
the continuance of the composition to
the outside borders of the canvas, Vassili, a wise and highly entertaining
raconteur, serves his favorite chocolate
biscuits and coffee and discourses on a
great many subjects. Among his favorite choregraphers he names Jerome
Robbins, who, Vassili says, knows how
to build to climax. Robbins has a great
imagination and doesn't depend on
mime or pantomime as so many other
choregraphers do. Dance should tell a
story by dance, not by trying to be literate. Among the painters, Vassili bows
his head affectionately toward the
Impressionists, most especially Matisse
and Monet. He greatly admires Picasso's originality. So many artists strive to
be different, he says, but fall short of
creating art. In their pursuit of oήginal­
ity, they somehow lose sight of what
exaclty it is they're doing. Vassili's
unbridled enthusiasm for life and for all

Modern Greek Characters In American Literature
By Prof ALEXANDER KARANIKAS
From his book Hellens &
Hellίons
2
The trip to Crete develops into a serious marital crisis for
the Coles. Vera Karras does not cause but helps to percipiatate the crisis when Bradley Cole goes away with her and
leaves Gloria alonewith Tom Macpherson. Verashows how
modern Greeks haggle over prices when she bargains for a
rented car ίη Herakleion. Their driver, Niko, has three
daughters by a wife no yet twenty. They visit a taverna for
the bouzouki music. Niko says, 'Άnd the singer is-excuse
the expresion- a well-known whore. Ι even remember her
from the mountains". They drink a lot of Cretan wine.
Throughout the novel they also drink a lot of ouzo. Under
the right conditions, Tom learns, ouzo acts like an
aphrodisiac- when taken straight from the bottle on an
almost empty stomach, and with a girllike Gloria available.
They return to Athens where he sleeps with Gloria; then he
goes to the island of Poros for some needed meditation. He
scuba dives and fishes. In Athens again, he finds to his
surprise that Bradley and Gloria are together again. Vera
Karras, it turns out, is actually a prostitute.
Tom Macpherson also appears in Keeley's next novel,
Jhe lmposter ( 1970), as a friP.nd of the American CIA agent
Simon (Sam) Kean. The novel is more of a thriller than a

house-warming party at which Sam meets Stella. She makes
her point by scoffing at his attitude toward Greek women,
calling him silly. 'Άbout Greek women anyway," she says.
"For example, you think we're all innocent because you read
somewhere that girls in the villages are supposed to stay
virgins until they're married." Sam makes love with Stella,
then has to go into hiding because both Stella and Jim are
murdered in his apartment, and he is accused. His brother
Dick arrives from the States to search for him. From the
novel's resolution the reader learns that the victims are both
CIA agents, undoubtedly killed over the Cyprus question.
Sam Kean goes off again, this time with the girl he genuinely
loves, Alison.
Two major characters, the girl English and the man
Greek, leave England for a Greek island and romance in
Elsie Lee's The Passions of Medora Graeme( 1972). Medora
flees the country when Alistair Pitt-Ramsey announces he
will marry another woman. She and Alistair run the designing firm Dollistair. Dr. Simeon Vlados leaves England to
recover from the death of the woman he loves, yet cannot
save. Emotionallyupset, Medora accepts an invitation to
sail aboard the Circe with some friends. Three weeks later
the vessel's engines die near the Greek island of Thanaxos.
Captain Pandros says about the island, 'Ύery small, but
hokay. Tomorrow we fix ." There Medora disembarks,
promptly sprains her ankle, and is invited to stay with the
Vlados family. She meets the young Dr. Simeon Vlados,
also from England.
Thanaxos is a flax-producing island with linen its main
product and lifeblood. At the moment the electric generator
that powers the looms does not work. Simeon attempts to
raise money from the relatives of successful but absent
islanders who migrated to other lands. He cannot raise
enough despite the fact that his friend 's father, theTurk Mr.
Indronu, gives a large sum. Medora's stay with Simeon, his
father Jason, and his mother Lissa, anexcellentcook, has the
same therapeutic effect it has had on Simeon. Furthermore,
she recognizes the woven designs made by some of theisland
women. She had bought some ofthe.ir cloth from Feneloni,
who has clearly been paying the islanders much too little and
reaping great profits. So sh·e arranges to buy dιreclty trom
Thanaxos and to give the people a fairer price than Feneloni
does. Through her American uncle, Medora replaces the
generator and secures new Jooms.
One night when itinerant workers from a nearby island
raid Thanaxos, Simeon Vlados rescues Medora from a man
who is bent on assaulting her. In the heat of the rescue,
Simeon, already overcome by much ouzo and excited by the
fight, forces himself on her. Medora is rather compliant; and
next day when he awkwardly tries to apologize, she indicates
that s'he erijoyed Ίiis ·ιove. Their liaison begins. Simeon
points out to Medora why Alistair married Lady Gwen
Howard and not her, but she cannot enlighten him about his
lost love, Diana Landry. Both lovers return to England.
Medora because Dollistair is in trouble; and Dr. Vlados to
resume his practice.
Because both of them are so busy, they cannot reach each
other by phone. After Vlados learns from Diana's husband
and doctor that she could, through hysteria, make herself ill,
he realizes that he was not responsible for her death. Diana,
knowing her husband was remarrying, made herself sick
because she would not be able to get his money. Dr. Vlados's
surgery on her had been successful but she was too weak and
ΗΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ
therefore she died. This knowledge relieves Simeon from his
guilt feelings. He then goes to Medora, and they have a civil
wedding. Several months later they marry again in the Anglican church, and again on Thanaxos by the Orthodox priest,
Father Anastasis. Medora's friend Suzy Francot is paired
off with Xeno lndronu, the nice Turk.
Perhaps the best known of the fictional Greek-American
lovers is Eddie Anderson in Elia Kazan's The Arrangement
(1967). Eddie's Freudian discontents derive in part from the
highly "civilized" nature of his status as advertising executive with wealth and ο bligation. That he is a Greek is clear
from the beginning when Kazan gives his real nameEvangelos Topouzoglou. Of his heritage the protagonist
says: "Ι was the eldest son to a man named Seraphim Topouzoglou, who was born in Anatolia and brought to this country by his elder brother, Stavros Topouzoglou, the first of
our tribe to cross the Atlantic. Stavros landed on Ellis Island
in 1899, and the first thing he did was change his name to Joe
Arness"
The plot of Kazan's novel involves much more than the
search for sexual happiness, even though sex is central to
Eddie's problem. He and his wife Florence have an understanting " that just so long as Ι didn't make a fool ofherwith
our friends or publicly humiliate her, she'd look the other
way'Ό 8oth are fortythree; they have been married for
twenty-one years and live in a beautiful house in Bradshaw
Park. They own various status objects such as a fine record
collection, two original Picassos, three cars, and a pool.
However, Eddie Anderson violates the terms oftheir "arrangement" by falling in love with Gwendolyn Hunt, a worker
in his office. Another sign of impending disaster is his growing loss of interest in his work. In having both Gwen and
Florence. Eddie feels "eastern," Levantine, for enjoying several wives is alien to American mores. Regarding Gwen's
value in sex, Eddie says, "She unroutined it'Ό Regarding
himself as a superior lover, he feels that he needs more than a
wife to satisfy his sexual needs.
Besides working for the Williams and MacElroy agency,
Eddie Anderson as a free-lance writer does "justice pieces"
for leading intellectual magazines. He goes on a writing
safari to New York, with Gwen along, to prepare an article
on a reactionary politician named Chet Collier. The train
ήde is one long fornication for them. Back at home, however, serious trouble begins when Irene, their black maid,
finds ίη a secret drawer some nude beach photos of Eddie
and Gwen. 1t was Ellen, their eighteen-year-old adopted
daughter, who suggested to lrene that she show the photos
to Florence, who promptly starts divorce proceedings. Το
add to his woes, Eddie gets soundly beaten up by Collier
over Gwen. Back on the West Coast, heaccedes to Florence's
wish to see her psychiatrist. For eleven months he tries to
stay with her. They read books like the Siddhartha together,
but they cannot make love. Bored and nervous, Eddie begins
to gamble. Then he drives his Triumph into a trailer. The
accident changes his life.
He speaks his mind, when not childishly silent, on the
excuse of "brain damage." He does not want to work, and
refuses even to write a magazine article. He buzzes the ad
offices of Williams and MacElory with his Cessna I 72. At a
welcome back party attended by movie people Eddie gets
very drunk, walks home, and has to be helped by the police.
At home he calls his brother Michael in Westchester because
their father has pneumonia. Their daughter Ellen, too, is

troublesome. Α spoiled bratty girl, she has had an abortion
in Tiajuana. "I hate Radcliffe" is her opinion of college. She
wants to be different from both her pareιω;; she wants to be
"honest." In the settling of his debts, Eddie gets stripped
clean by Florence. In low spirits he flies to New York to see
his father, help Ellen, and write an arίicle about a Latino
politician, Rojas.
On the same flight he meets Chet Collier, now Gwen's
lover. In S panish Harlem, at a party, he talks with the wife of
Rojas and admires her honesty. 'Όrder-professed, chaosconcealed," he thinks, "was the subject that interested me
most in the world'Ό He had intended to destroy Rojas as a
misleader of his people, a phony; but after talking with Mrs
Rojas, he decides that he himslelfin the realputa, the whore.
She tells him that instead of writing literature he was out to
destroy others for the entertainment of his readers and the
swelling of his bank account. Eddie gets drunk again. He
goes to Gwen' s apartment only to see her enter with another
man. His daughter Ellen dates Collier, his arch foe. Days
pass, and Eddie keeps going down. He gets bounced from a
Harlem bar, he uήnates on an o\d Zephyr cigarette ad he
once dreamed up, and ends in the court of Jugde 8en
Weinstein, an old college friend. 8oth belonged to the Communist Party before World War ΙΙ, during the days of the

suιt, a "Commie's disguise", so that as a "Commie" he could
"represent himse1f to be just like everyone e1se, a little ahead,
maybe, but not too much, and never as a person dedicated
and determined to bring down this body politic." 8oth he
and Weinstein soon left the Communist movement to seek
wealth in their respective professions. Eddie sees Weinstein
caught like himself in a false arrangement, buήed alive
under the heavy weight of success, and spiritually dead. All
people, Eddie thinks are devided between the sellers and the
sold.
In time he goes to Gwen and to Charles Collier, Chet's
brother, to 1earn much to his surprise that she has a child!
The boy looks like him, as Eddie says. This Collier has not
been sleeping with Gwen, only taking care of her. Eddie has
sex with her again, and again, and he thinks: 'This time we
did it in simple mutuality, symphonized as the Greeks say."
Many tergiversations, mostly leading downward, follow in
Eddie Anderson's human relationships. Florence attempts
to entrap him back into their old marital arrangement, but
to no avail. He goes into and out of a mental hospital. As a
symbolic act of severance from his family past, he torches
their old house on Long Island. Much time is devoted to the
long dying of Eddie's father, Sam Arness. Florence's lawyer
Arthur Houghton is taking care of her- which is all she ever
wanted. Two happier years ρass for Eddie, Gwen, and the
child Andy living together on the top floor of her uncle's
house. The uncle owns a liquor store in ashoppingcenter. At
one point Gwen sadly tells Έddie: "Some day, Eddie, take a
chance, love somebody'Ό As the long novel drows to a close,
Eddie has finished and sent off his first complete story, one
in praise of Florence. After a tiff with Gwen he takes his
savings and decides to go off for a while- to Montauk
Village, at the very end of Long lsland. There he begins to
feel some power of his own, some hope, a new exhilaration .
Gwen aπives soon, and "The marήage ofthe monsters was
performed by the mayor of Patchogue'Ό Later that evenίng
Gwen reveals that she is pregnant again. They eventually
own the liquor store, having bought out her uncle. The
baby's coming Eddie's steady, and he writes a lot. "8ut Ι do
worry sometimes," he ponders. 'Ίs this what all that drama,
that great overthrow was for- this simρle living and working, this day to day confluence?"
Even though the ethnicity factor does not obtrude, it
nevertheless ρervades The Arrangement. When summarized, the al\usions to Eddie's Greek heritage may seem more
important than their actual significance to plot and theme
warrants. These allusions create a well-rounded image of
what it means for Eddie Anderson to be facing his destiny
and dilemma as a wealthy but troubled middle-class GreekAmerican. For example, Eddie says, "8eing Greek, blondness is my fetish. Ι was given black hair, a little on the oily
side, once very thick." The fact that he readily sleeρs with
Gwen leads him to a moral judgment: "Ι thought ot her as
soiled. That's a good Greek middle class word. I'm embarrassed to recall this now. When their affair threatens his
marriage and comfortable life, he ρonders the gravity of his
situation:
Νο Italian, no Spaniard, cairtainly no Frenchman woufd
gίve up his home, his /ife's savίngs, and his wifefor apiece of

let us review some of the known facts
based upon his memoirs and various
biographers. His. given name Christopher (Christ-bearer) is Greek and not
at all a popular ltalian name; when he
signed his name he used Greek Characters not Latin; he knew Greek, Latin
and navigation, hardly the education of
a Genoese wool-weaver; he lived fo r two
year (1477-78) on the Greek island of
Chios, at that time a Genoese colony Ι in
his memoirs he mentions tίme and again
his dream of liberating Christian Constantinople from the Turks, the Turks
captured the Greek city in 1453;
hundreds of Greeks fled to the west and
settled in the maritίme cities of Genoa
and Venice after Turkish invasion. The
evidence indicates that he was a well
educated Byzantine Greek who probably came from a Greco-Genoese family.
One thing is certain he was ΝΟΤ ltalian,
why would an ltalian want to libarate
Constantinople, the center of Greek
Orthodoxy? The late scholar Seraphim
Canoutas emphasized all these facts in
his we\1 documented book, 'Christopher
Columbus- Α Greek Nobleman!
CORRECτJON For September

Ι t was erroneously reported that the
talented actor Frank Dicopoulos has
used the name Drake at one time. ! η the
past he used the name Dickos before he
reverted to the original family spelling
of Dicopoulos.

FINE DINING
At the famous Stony
By Stephen and Zara Janson
(New Jersey Goodlife
magazίne)
The Stony Hill lnn is one of those
establishments that arrive on the scene
(as it did back in 1982) like a debutante
at the coming-out ball, with all the right
pedigrees. The location, Polifly Road
just off the exit ramp from Route 80, in
Hackensack, was already a proven setting for a successful restaurant. From
the 1940s until 1981 it was the home of
Guido's, the erstwhile Italian ristorante
popular with the loca1 business and political crowds. Απ earlier incamation,
before Guido's was also as an Ita1ian
restaurant, which dated back to 1937,
called New Venice. The mansion itseιt·
was known throughout the 19th century
as the Homestead Farm and was oήgi­
nally built by the Dutch family of J ohn
and Marie Hopper in the ealry 1800s. lt
was a grand Dutch Colonial manor

Inn
home, built of brown sandstone, with
Georgian influence.
The building, now listed in the
National Register of Historic Places,
was lovingly restored to its cuπent
grand state by John Saladino in 1982. It
has been owned and managed since the
beginning of 1988 by real estate developer and attorney John Mavroudis and
restaurateur Jimmy Sakkas, who
bought the restaurant from Vincent
Vecchiotti. The Jersey business and political crowd is still ίη evidence (both
Democrat and Republican), with senators Bradley and Lautenberg, former
President Nixon, and Attorney General
Cary Edwards among the patrons.
When we revisited the Stony Hill
Inn recently, we sat in one of the
smaller dining rooms, the prints of dogs
(setters, spaniels, greyhounds) give it
the feel of a British clubroom. Large
French windows are handsomely
draped with swag curtains, and deli-
specίaltίes αι
the Stony
Ηί/1
lnn.
cately patterned wallpaper (with . soli?
rose-colored fabric below t he chaιr rail
molding) lends the room a soft glow.
We were escorted to our table and
waited upon by a block of formallyattired Italian waiters-the service at
the Stony Hill Inn is impeccable.
The menu is large and there are also
daily fish, chicken, beef, veal, and pasta
specials. T he chef is Nico1a Cotumaccio who was bom in Villa St. Maria in
Itaiy and attended the Culinary Institute of Abruzzi. He apprenticed at the
Imperiale Hotel in Bari and the Grand
Hotel in Rome and then moved on to
hotel kitchens in Buenos Aires and
Totonto, before coming to the United
States.
We began our meal with the Giant
Shrimp Scampi Maison, a hot appetizer
that featured four very large and tender
Shrimp that had been cooked carefully
and were complemented by a fine sauce
of butter, shallots, white wine, a touch
of garlic, and a sprinkle of fresh
chopped parsley - the kind of standard
yet classic fare that gives a clue to the
meal to follow at a Continentalfltalian
restaurant like this.
Cold appetizers on the regular menu
include Eggplant Riviera (thinly-s1iced
eggplant sauteed in egg batter and marinated with herbs), smoked trout with
horseradish sauce, fresh roasted
peppers with anchovies, and smoked
Nova Scotia salmon, among others.
Salads include the traditional Caesar,
a tre colore (three-color) salad of Belgian endive, arugu1a and tomatoes, a
spinach salad, a tomato and onion, and
a Belgian endive with beets. Α good
selection of imaginative vegetable preparations are available as side dishes,
including sauteed zucchini with prosciutto, pignoli nuts, and shallots; stea med
broccoli with garlic and oil (or hollandaise); and sauteed spinach with garlic,
anchovies, and black olives.

Stony Hill Inn. There are seven pastas
on the regular menu, as well as a special
every evening. The Fettucini Verdi au
Salmon featured fresh green fettuccine
studded with diced smoked salmon that
had been sauteed with shallots in butter
and then reduced with champagne and
heavy cream.
We chose a veal and a fish course for
our entrees that evening and were
pleased with both. The Veal alla Boscaiola featured three extremely tender veal
scallops that had been floured and sauteed in butter before the addition of
shallots, porcini mushrooms, and a
touch of sherry, all bound together with
an earthy demiglaze; garnishing the
plate were two potato croquettes. The
Fillet of Lemon Sole Francaise was prepared classically-a fresh piece of sole is
dipped in egg batter and sauteed ίη butter, after which the pan is deglazed
whith lemon juice and white wine.
Some of the Stony Hill Inn's specialties "from the ocean, rivers, and
streams," as the menu says, include
Scampi alla Stony Hill Inn, fresh Bost?n scrod with a mustard-herb glazer,
fιllet of Lemon Sole Caprice (broiled
with almonds and fried banana), and
Bouίllabaisse Portugesa, to name a few.
Chicken cordon bleu and Pollo Contadino (with mushrooms, sausage, and
vinegar peppers) are popular chicken
dishes. In addition to the expected veal
dishes, Stony Hi\1 Inn veal specialties
include Cuscinetti di Vitello (a pillow of
veal, with prosciutto, swiss cheese, and
wine sauce) and Veal Country Style
(tender chunks ofveal, sausage, peppers
and mushrooms). Beef dishes include
Beef Giambotta (tender pieces of beef
and sausage sauteed with garlic,
peppers, and mushrooms ), steak au poivre, and filet mignon bearnaise.
Desserts are appealingly presented on
a pastry tray and feature, among others,
Chocolate Fantasia, a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge,
and fresh whipped cream, and Tartufo
Romano. Α bow1fuί of fresh rasberies
topped with homemade whipped cream
was a delight. The pear torte was more
like a pear cake; the pears had been
baked with a custard in a short-crust
shell. The chocolate mousse was everso-rich, concocted with whipped heavy
cream, egg whites, and Callebaut semisweet chocolate. And the New Υ orkstyle cheesecake- direct from the Stony
Ηί\1 lnn's bakery - was superb!

St. Catherine's Monastery
As early as the third century Godseeking hermits and Christian ascetics
settled at the foot of Mount Sinai and
Mount Serbal to lead a life of strict
spiritual and corporal discipline.
lt was in the year 330 that the Byzantine Empress Helena, mother of Constantine, ordered a small church and
tower to be built within a fortified
enclosure so as to protect the monks
from attacks by pagan nomadic tribes.
The site was traditionally that of the
burning bush.
Today's monastery dates back to the
time of the Emperor Justinian (527565), who ordered the erection of a great
walled edifice, and the construction of
the Basilica of the Transfiguration. In
addition, he provided soldiers to defend
the monks and their precious collections of books and artifacts.
During the Fatimad period, a small
mosque was built inside the walls of the
monastery. Later, during the French
occupation of Egypt from 1798 to 180 I,
Napoleon requested his engineers to
repair the walls and the general fabric of
the monastery. The Egyptian ruler
Muhammad Ali undertook further
works and generously provided
revenues from the customs levies of
Cairo for this purpose.
The lavishly decorated church is a
museum in itself. From the ceiling
handmade silver lamps hang against a
background of mosaic panels dating
back to the seventh and eighth centuries. They are embedded above the central apse.
The rich library is considered second
only to the Vatican's, and is known particularly for its huge manuscript collection. The 19th century photograph
shows how travelers and visitors were
drawn up, through a wooden penthouse
cantilevered out from the wall into the
monastery. This bizarre method of
entry had already been instituted for
defensive reasons by the early 16th century when a rope was let down from the
top of the wall into the loop of which the
visitor placed his feet, keeping them
there until with one turn he was pulled
up. Elbows and knees would receive
sundry thumps and bumps in the proNOVEMBER, 1989
cess, but the course of the ascent was
soon forgotten when he was ushered in
to a labyrinth of passages and staircases
where the Superior received him with
the greatest attention and kindness. Α
supper was soon provided, consisting of
rice and dried dates.
The recent construction of an airport
and a luxury hotel near the monastery
and the improvement of roads throughout the Sinai Peninsula, offer today's
traveler easy access to the site. As they
could 150 years ago, visitors can still
stay within the dormitories of St.
Catherine's ~ in basic accommodations and at little cost.

Grecian Columns Find
NOVEMBER, 1989
Home
era1 committees and bui1ding commissioners unti1 permission was fιnally.
granted to begin construction ofthe colonnade. All ίη all, it took near1y three
decades of work. Α η "in-depth study" of
the history ofthe co1umns is now under
way. Designed by Benjamin Latrobe,
they were originally cut from sandstone
at Aquia Creek quarry in Virginia after
the War of 1812, floated up on barges
on the Potomac River, and then erected
as part of the Capitol's cerιtra1 portion,
finished in 1829.
Not on1y were they sa1vaged, but have
added new beauty to the nation's
Capitol.
By TULA LEWNES
In the late 1950s, two dozen columns
were removed from the Capitol Dome
in Washington, D.C. during the controversia1 extension of the East Front.
Marble pillars were erected in their
p1ace and the original 24 sandstone
co1umns were dismantled, placed in
crates, stored along the banks of the
Anacostia River, and forgotten for 28
years.
But the 34-foot, five-ton columns are
once again standing tall, this time at
their new home, the National Arboretum, which is located at 3501 New York
Ave., ΝΕ, about 10 minutes east of the
Capitol.
The columns shoot out ofthe Arboretum's West Meadow, forming a rectangular co1onnade resembling the ruins of
a Greek temp1e. Marb1e slabs, removed
from the Capitol steps during the same
renovation period, serve as the flooring.
When the project is completed, a
fountain will rise from the center of the
court and send water cascading down to
a large reflecting pool at the foot of the
structure.
Designed by the late R ussell Page, a
world-famous English landscaper, the
colonnade will be the only national
monument east of the Capitol.
The effort to restore the co1umns and
rescue them from decay along the river
banks began almost as soon as they
were removed from the Capitol in 1959.
But it was not unti1 I 984, after $1.5
million in private funds were raised,
that the columns finally found their way
to the Arboretum. T hey laid on the
ground ·-ntil June 1988 when they
were finally resurrected.
After the death of Washington phiIanthropist Ethel Garrett, the original
leader ofthe effort, a group was formed
to cut through the bureaucracy since the
columns were considered Congressional property and were shackled with
numerous regulations governing their
use. The group had to work with Congress and the architect of the Capito\ to
have the co1umns turned over to the
"protection" of the Secretary of Agriculture and brought to the Arboretum,
which is under the jurisdiction of the
Agriculture Department.
Then the group had to go before sev-

Rising from the sparkling waters of
the Bosporus into a striking skyline of
domes and minarets is the ancient city
of lstanbul. Νο matter which other
cities- Cairo, Rome, Venice, Athensflicker with their own special associations through one' s reminiscence,
Istanbul, fo rmerly Constantinople, is
incomparable. Not o nly is its geographical setting unique, but it was also
once the heart of the Byzantinc and
Ottoman empires and capital of th e civilized world.
But Istanbul is a city surrounded on
three sides by water, and there are
moments of captivating beauty when
the late-afternoon sun tips the waves
with gold and silver and cloaks the pale
stone mosques ίη shades of rose and
lavender. It is indeed a very rich city,
faded and weary, but endowed nonetheless with charm and allure. It is a city
with a deceptive facade, a city that
rewards the persevering explorer, little
by little revealing its secrets and
treasures.
Yet it is significant that Istanbul's
heart, its essential gathering place, and,
in a sense, its symbol should be Galata

The beauty of Galata Bridge lies not

from it, and its sights and sounds are
like no others. Below the bridge shriek
the horns of the passenger boats that
zigzag fro m here across the Bospo rus
toward the Black Sea. Ι ts floating lower
piers are a lively scene of loaves and
fishes. Boats draw up alongsidethe minuscule restaurants, where barbunya (red
mullet), mackerel, and sardine-size
silver fish-a mere hint ofistanbul's piscine pleasures- are decanted, still flipping, to buckets of water or arrayed
mosaiclike on the decks, trimmed with
greenery, lemons, and a spray or two of
flowers. Other boats are loaded with
baskets of bread, together with a bu tane
stove and frying pan, for prepaήng an
instant breakfast, and the fishermen
themselves are often handsome in their
yellow Wellingtons, with long aprons to
protect their clothing.
Highly appreciative of good food, the
people of lstanbul are rarely without a
little something to eat or drink. The
glass-walled trolleys beside the boat
ticket booths are stacked with flaky
cheese boreks and crepes spread with
spicy~mincy meat, to matoes, and raw
onion. Other stalls ply freshly squeezed
fruit juice, and the passenger boats
themselves seem to echo the call of the
tea seller, and his tray of steaming hot
glasses. Tea and coffee, symbols ofhospitality, are o n constant offer in offices
and shops and especially in the Covered
Bazaar as bargaining warms up.
Yet thousands of miles from Istanbul
is a warm, hospitable little restaurant
that echoes some of the best featuressounds and smells- of its counterpart
in the ancient city for which it is named.

terminded by its owner Necmi Ersan,
whose love of good food is also akin to
that of his contemporaries in his native
Turkey.
The decor ofiSTANBUL Κ Ε ΒΑΡ is
authentically Anatolian, as is the zesty
and exotic fare. The dining area is long
and narrow with intimate tables neatly
arranged to the left and right of a small
aisle. Flawless white napery and tablecloths match the snowy decor, which is
relieved by bouquets offlowers on each
table.
Additional contrast is offered by the
Turkish carpets that hang ση the walls,
adding design and color to the C07.y restaurant. Leafy green plants are crowded
on the ledge of the large window that
looks out onto the quiet street just off
Second Avenue.
The food at ISTAN BUL ΚΕΒΑΡ is
typically Mediterranean, but wiιh a distinct Turkish accent. The choice of
soups from the lisι of a pperizers include
thick yogurt soup, chicken and vegeta-
ble soup, and the delicious lentil soup
that can warm the cockles of the heart
on a chilly night. Patlican Salata, a
pureed dip of eggplant, chopped
onions, herbs, and Jaced with vinegar is
delightfully smoky and works as a good
starter. Also served as appetizers are the
f1aky cheese pies called borek. Phyllo
pastry is wrapped around the textured
fillings of cheese and parsley and are
served piping hot. But the best of the
batch of appetizers is indisputably the
arnavut cigeri, cubes offresh calrs liver
sauteed in bl.ιtter and served with finelychopped onions. Nowhere in town is
liver prepared so we\1 seasoned as in this
taverna-style place, whose hallmark is
not elegant de'cor but fresh, natural
foods deliciously prepared.
Lamb is considered the most common meat in the Mediterranean, and
among the renditions offered here are
succulent Adana kebap, which consists
of chopped lam b prepared with
chopped fresh ι·ed peppers and spiced

with paprika then grilled on skewers.
Served on a bed of pilaf, and garnished
with onions and lemon wedges, this
grilled specialty is indigenous to the
small Mediterranean town of Adana,
where the proud owner was born. Fresh
baby lamb chops grilled to perfectio n,
and stripped of all fat, are served sizzlingly hot on a platter of rice ga rnished
with parsley.
For the diet conscious, the chicken
garlic is a delicious substitute for lamb.
Chicken breast is cut into morsels and
sauteed with garlic, wine, lemon juice
and butter. On one occasion this dish
seemed bland, but on several other
occasions it was pungently delicious.
But the most compelling entre'e on
the menu is the karisίk izgara, a large
combination platter of grilled specialties that include chicken, meat patties,
lamb chops, and the house specialty,
Adana kebab.
The dessert list is scanty. Prepared on
the premises, fresh desserts are served
from a large tray that is wickedly tempting. From time to time, the restaurant
serves a decidedly delicious bak/ava,
with \ayers of wafer-thin phyllo soaked
in syrup and a kataifi, which is syrupcovered shreded wheat encasing a spicy
blend of ground nuts and cinnamon;
both of which are in a class by themselves. Α rival fo r second place is
kunefe, a dessert specialty ofthe eastern
Mediterranean. Consisting of syrupsoaked shreded wheat, this mouthwatering sweet encases unsalted, melted
"farm" cheese. Baked in separate sma\1
pans, or in a large one, this dessert is
best served fresh out of the oven when
the cheese has melted and the shreddedwheat crust is crisp and brown.
Beverages include the usual soft
drinks, assorted teas, and American
coffee. The more exotic ones are Turkis h coffee, which may be ordered

R ussia the
Country
ofExtremes
By IRIS LILL YS
Like, indifference, or dislike for a
country is a very personal matter. It is
not simply a question of taste. More
than anything else it is a case of
temperament ...
Of all the countries about which opinions differ, Russia is surely the most
controversial and political views have
nothing to do with the impression one
gets from this enormous land.
Let us start with Moscow, the capital,
since the revolution of 1917. If, like me,
you have read Fitzroy MacLean's famous book 'Ήoly Russia", you are stuck
with his opening line "Moscow is unlike
any other city in the world." And how
ήght he is. Except that in this case Ι
would like to go a step ahead of him,
that is, before you reach Moscow. Let's
say you start from Athens as Ι did. Υ ou
have to board the national U.S.S.R. airline, namely Aeroflot. It sure is unlike
any other airline in the world ...
Upon arήval you are surprised to find
yourself still alive. Right away you go to
the other extreme. One of the best airports anywhere is awaiting your arrival. .. Full of admiration and all excited
to be standing in the country that has
changed the face of humanity, Ι look
around, trying to locate a cart to carry
my luggage. It becomes a rather complicated affair reminding me of the disgrace at Elliniko airport... As my
Russian vocabulary consist of about ten
words, after vain efforts of communication, Ι resorted to a game of pantomime
that was to stay with me during my two
week stay in Russia ...
After much ado, Ι am shown a small
door through which every so often a
cart is carried out by a porter of dubious
appearance. Ι rushed over only to be
confronted by a matronly sergeantlooking individual, probably a female,
who very abruptly asked me for one
ruble. Ι volunteered my dollars only to
get back a harsh "RUBLE." This dialogue about d ollars and rubles went on

enemies. Today the fortress contains,
besides a couple of palaces, five
churches with their gold onion-shaped
domes that can be seen practically from
every part of the city. ln the center of
this unique agglomeration stands the
Uspenski Cathedral where Ivan the Terrible was crowned and got for the first
time in Russia the title of Czar of all
Russias. In 1930, Stalin added the
Palace of Congress, a beauty of modern
architecture but which esthetically does
not belong to the Kremlin. It serves for
political reunions but also as a show off
to foreign dignitaries. In his time,
Stalin, closely guarded, lived in one of
the palaces of the Kremlin and the
lovely park with its superb churches was
not to be seen by the public.
The Bolshoi
for a while until Ι managed to make her
understand the word "exchange". Α
sausage looking red finger points
towards the customs. One would think
that my problems would be over. Not
so... Ι am not allowed to go through
customs beacause ... Ι do not have bags.
But ίf Ι insisted on going to the cash
exchange, they would not let me go
back to pick up my luggage.
This is Russian thinking. Does it
make sense to anybody? Certainly not
to me.
Α stroke of luck saved me from this
ambiguous situation, in the face of an
Asiatic young man who produced a
ruble and, most unusual, refused to be
reimbursed in American currency. Ι
found out later that in the black market
where most exchange is done, a rub\e is
equivalent to a few cents...
Once out of that chaos, again you go
to another extreme: a highway that puts
to shame every other country, America
and Europe included. Lanes varry
between four to eight on each side, bordered and divided in most places by
trees reaching up to the sky. During the
hour long drive to the city one tries in
vain to locate a piece of trash. Instead,
women, mostly elderly, are seen all the
way picking up an accidental piece of
paper.
The first impression of Moscow is
'ΉUGE". Although skyscrapers are
few, compared to New York, buildings,
old and new, meaning before and after
the revolution are immense. As an

example, one of the hotels built during
Stalin's days, Russiya, has five thousand bedrooms, ten dining rooms and a
whole floor of sitting rooms ...
Of course everybody knows that, as
Moscow is the heart of Russia, the
Kremlin is the heart of Moscow. Contrary to common knowledge, the Kremlin is not merely a political center. lt is a
city withing a city and stands where it
has been for eight hundred years. Long
ago, in place of the massive red-brick
walls that surround the mile long park
there was no more th? 1 a wooden palisade protecting a lonely frontier-post
from the frequent attacks of a variety of
Adjacent to the Kremlin is the Red
Square. Again many people confusethe
meaning. Among them yours truly was
under the impression that the name was
given for the amount of blood that was
shed on that square during the revolution. Blessed illiteracy!! The word
" Red" is synonym to beautiful in Russian. It is seven hundred meters long
and hundred and thirty wide. At its
origin at the end ofthe fifteenth century,
it was a combination of market-place
and gal\ows center as, at that time it
must have been fashionable to go shop!'ling while watching bodies hanging
from their necks ... Today taste has
rather developed into more sophistication as one of the most interesting things
to watch is the hourly change of the
National Guard which makes the Buck-

ingham Palace guards look like chi1d's
p1ay.
Also the great attraction on the Red
Square is the internationally known as
the trademark of Moscow, St. Basil's
Cathedral. It is a1so known as "the box
of crystallized fruit" so referred to by
the writer Marquis de Custine in the
nineteenth century ... The Frenchman
a1so called it a "masterpiece of caprice"
and just to \ook at the Cathedra1 one
wou1d agree with a\1 the fancy names by
which it was described. Bui1t in 1556 by
Russian architects, the Cathedra1 was
dedicated to Basil, the miracle worker,
as he was accepted by some, or the Holy
Fool, as history liked to cal\ him. Nevertheless he was canonized, and there is a
story, or maybe a myth that is related to
his Cathedral. According to legend,
Ivan the Terrible had won a spectacular
victory in one of his many battles over
the Tartars. He strongly believed that
Basil and his prayers were responsib1e
for his success and decided to errect a
Cathedral in his memory. He called the
two best architects that Russia had at
the time and asked them to build something that was never attempted before.
The result was an extreme example of
the exuberant native Russian style of
the XVI century, marking a complete
departure from the earlier Byzantine
tradition. Totally asymetric it has nine
onion domes no two being alike, neither
in size not in shape. Each dome contains
a separate chapel, so services cou1d be

conducted in every one. At the time of
construction this group of buildings was
all painted in white and it is in the beginning of the XVII century that it was
painted in all the colors of the rainbow.
Legent has it that Ivan was so enthused
with his Cathedral that upon its completion he had the architects blinded so
they could never again bui1d another
church to rival it. After all he was not
called Ivan the Terrible for nothing...
Moscow has many churches. For
many years after the revolution they
had remained ίη oblivionasKarl Marx
had said that religion is theopium ofthe
masses. Later on, persecution of the
clergy stopped and the churches started
slowly to regain their lost prestige. The
Cathedral in the Kremlin where the
Czars used to be crowned, served as a
museum in 1ater years. But another
church as large, and even more beautiful, the Assumption of the Virgin, in the
center of the city has been consecrated
as the Cathedra1 of Moscow. When?
This again is one of the particularities of
Russia. Nobody, neither the intourist
bureau, nor the guides, gave me accurate answers to my inquiries, as any
changes that might have occured ίη 1ater
years remain secret. This Cathedra1 is
an unpara1elled jewe1 of such beauty
that a feeling of awe is what it inspires. It
is large, it is tall and there is not one
square foot of unpainted surface. From
the old testament to the apocalypse,
whatever the Good Book tells us about,
is represented on those walls. The altar,
with superb carved doors, is all go1d1eafed and the amount of candles on
their heavy brass stands give aglow that
makes the whole atmosphere unreal.
There are no pews in the church as that
would be rather inconvenient for the
congregation, as a great part of it was on
its knees for the two and a half hours
that the service lasted. The pomp ofthe
service complemented the magnificence
of the surroundings. On that specific
Sunday morning (Ι have been to1d it

happens every Sunday but Ι found out
not to trust Russian information) the
clergy was headed by the ..Archiepiscopo" as the Archbishop is called in
Russian, as everything of their religion
was brought in and inherited from
Byzantium.
Followed a few 'Έpiscopi" priests
and deacons, fifteen people in all, clad
in gold. The chant, a combination of
clergy, choir and congregation gave a
complete celestial atmosphere. So much
Christian devotion Ι have never seen
neither in Alexandria, Jerusalem nor
Constantinople. And when time came
for Holy Communion, in a church
where there are no trustees or ushers,
the crowd, many of them crawling on
the floor, moved in an unbelievable
silence and order. I was moved to
tears ...
And a little technical detail. There are
no loudspeakers in the Cathedral and
the accoustics are as clear as a bell. One
would think that at the XVII century
when the church was built the architects
in Russia had a better knowledge of
acco ustics than the engineers of t he ΧΧ
century in New York. Also, the church
has no membership, nor help from the
state, and is only kept going by individual donations. And if one keeps in mind
that the average salary in Russia is
between two and three hundred rubles
per month one has to believe in the
power of faith ...
In the past seventy years, during the
new regime, not many visible things
have taken place. Yet one of them,
probably the most spectacular, is the
Moscow subway, called "Metro" after
the French fashion. It is said to be the
best in the world, at least in decor, as the
one in Milan, newer in construction, has
as they say, velvety tracks... Ι η the
metro, underground corridors run by
the mile, the walls are all decorated (and
not with graffiti either ... ) with paintings. On the ceiling, mostly vaulted,
hung at regular intervals, art nuveau
candelabras. Of course it is spotless as
even a cigarette butt disposed at a public
place is punishable by law. Would anybody deny that New York could use such
a law?
Among other unusual things in Russia is the place of women in society,
meaning the way of life, or, Ι would
rather say, a distorted women's lib.
Elderly women are street cleaners,
younger ones have replaced men in
manual jobs. You see them high up on

scaffolds paιntιng the facades of the

on telegraph poles fixing wires, and Ι
have seen a couple going down into the
sewers and Ι am sure it was not for fun.
Obviously the Politburo
does not
believe in equal rights, as men are
mostly used in office work ...
One good thing that the people's
republic did is not only to preserve but
also to enhance the inheritances of the
past. One of them ίs the Bolshoi
Theater. Contrary to the general belief
(mίne too), the Bolshoi is far from being
only a ballet company. It is a supert
theater built during the reign of Catheήne the Great and was and remains the

artistic center of Moscow. Besides its
world-famous ba1\et (New Yorkers
admire it every single year at Lincoln
Center) it boasts a hundred and fiftymember symphonic orchestra, all clad
in tails and white tie, using, it is said, the
best brass-wind instruments in Europe.
Also there is a regular theatrical company which produces the best international playwrights. The theater itself
seats better than two thousand people in
the plush red velvet and gold-leafed
auditorium which carries nine tiers of
boxes. Ι η the center of the first tier there
is a large 'Ίoge" (again from the French
vocabulary which used to be the language of sophisticated Czarist society).
At the present this loge, with its doubleΗ
NFA

headed eagle emblem, is where the
government of the people entertains
foreign dignitaries in a very impressive
manner. And as the wife of an American
diplomat told me, they go all the way.
Even champagne is served during
intermission ...
And again back to the other extreme:
Food! Yes, food exists in Russia, contrary to the general belief. But in a country that believes in equality, funny
things happen. Let us, if you will, go to
the super-market. Το start with, the
entrance is packed with people selling
flowers, beautiful flowers, two dollars
for a rose. As you advance you find
yourself in the meat section: two very
long counters covered in white cloth
loaded with big chunks of the redest
meat Ι have ever seen. This meat of
doubtful origin was exposed to the flies
tasting it. While behind the counters
sales people (again women) were probably advertising their goods because they
were shouting their heads off. Το my
great surprise one of the counters had a
queue of (Ι counted them) thirty people.
At the opposite counter there was
nobody. Ι asked my friend who lives in
Moscow the reason for this difference.
The answer left me cold. The counter
with the line was the cooperative counter, government's own. Prices are
checked and so is the produce quality:
mediocre. The counter across with
obνiously superior quality meat but still
without refrigeration and much cleaner
looking sales girls is about fifty per cent
higher in price and belongs to the ...
black market. Coffee also is doing very
well at thirty dollars a jar and if you can
spare six dollars you get yourself... two
pears.
Foreigners are constantly approached by youngsters asking to
trade dollars. Even in the lobby of the
Leningrad hotel two young men, well
groomed and one of them speaking
excellent Oxfordian English offered me,
point blanc, fιfteen rubles for my dollar... (Others did better, up to twenty
rubles ... ) Ι asked the young man if he
was not affraid to do his transactions in
the open. "What if you are caught?" Ι
asked him. 'Όf course 1'11 lose," he told
me, "as we have to pay the agent off..."
The same young man offered to buy my
sneakers at the pήce Ι had paid in New
York, three months ago . " It's for my girl
friend," he told me. 'Ί want her to have
the best."
After visiting Moscow with its fabulous Cathedrals, with its well-equipped

museums (one of them, the Pushkin,
even has a whole floor of copies of all
the Greek masterpieces, the Erehthion,
in full size included), and admiring all
the buildings with their Greek style
columns, a tour in the outskirts is mandatory. One has to visit the Novodevihy
Convent, where Peter the Great had
imprisoned his sister and where, among
others, lays the grave of Boris Goudounof. Also the Zagorsk monastery, about
one hundred miles from the city, is
worth visiting. Again you will see stunning Cathedrals, colored in white and
blue and the, again very large, building
of the Theologian School ofOrthodoxy
(this one painted in ocre yel1ow and
white, a real beauty). Zagorsk is a great
tourist center, not only for foreigners
but especially for Russians from all the
fifteen constituent Republics that stand
for U.S.S.R.
And something that gives a touch of
nίght.
human feeling to an otherwise νery realistic country. Is it a tradition or a fad?
Nobody could tell for sure. Couples to
be married would wear their wedding
apparel, navy blue suit or tuxedo for
the groom, the regular white wedding
gown for the bride, not in the latest
fashion to be sure, but quite decent,
would arrive, followed by family and
friends carrying bouquets, just to haνe
their wedding picture taken at the
entrance ofthe Cathedral. The wedding
is supposed to take place the next day at
their local church...
Looking at a couple walking on the
grounds of Zagorsk one may think it
was young people's eccentricity. Not so.
That Saturday moming of my tourist
endeavor Ι counted thirty six bridal
processions ...

HARVARΩ
THEADELPHI
OF
MASSACHUSEΠS.
Believe it or not, Harvard actually lives up to this
reputation.
lts academic mission is every bit as lofty as
Adelphi's: to develop the whole man and the whole
woman; to expose students to liberalleaming, the
2500-year tradition ofWestem Civilization; to prepare
you for life, not just to occupy your mind for the
years between high school and post-pubescence.
lts location in Cambήdge, just across the river
from Boston, may not promise the Museum of
Modem Art, Lincoln Center, Broadway, or the United
Nations. But it holds its own against Adelphis campus, which is less than an hour from NewYork City.
And don't overlook Harvards extracurriculars:
its century-old clubs and organizations are the stuff
oflegend, along the lines oftheAdelphi athletic
department. Νο less than three Adelphi Panther
teams currently hold rankings in the national
top ten.
For more infonnation about Harvard, the
Adelphi ofMassachusetts, call (617) 495-1551.
For a brochure and video about Adelphi, the
Adelphi ofNewYork, call (516) 663-1100. YouΊl also
receive a free 'Ήarvard, the Adelphi of Massachusetts" t -shirt. But hurry. As they say in advertising,
supplies are limited.
