Cyprus crisis boosts NATO while US image falters
The Cyprus crisis elevated NATO’s strength but exposed U S fragility as Washington faced criticism over its stance toward Greece and Turkey. Kissinger’s image suffered amid perceived U S leniency toward the Athens regime, while the Sixth Fleet’s presence in Piraeus reinforced Greek impressions of U S backing. The Cyprus ceasefire followed U S decisive action. In contrast, the Boy Scouts of America faced a Friday deadline to explain alleged discrimination against black scouts in Mormon church sponsored troops, amid a temporary restraining order and NAACP suit seeking an injunction and loss of federal grants.
