Spite

Dictator Kondylis of Greece, a typically, hard-boiled militarist whose agents have resorted more than once to poisoning to gain his ends, announced himself greatly troubled last week by aspersions publicly cast in his direction that he is playing politics. Pinked upon this nice point of military honor, General Kondylis forthwith dissolved the minute political party of which he was nominally the head, relaxed not one iota his dictatorial powers.

Vexed, the General's political opponents branded him in covert conversations as a model hypocrite. Said M. Tsaldaris. opposition leader, spitefully. "We will abstain from the forthcoming parliamentary election unless General Kondylis resigns."
