Columnist Anthony Harrigan argues the Greek regime under Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou is moving Greece toward the Soviet Union. He cites Papandreou’s anti American statements and visit to Communist Poland, warning such shifts could weaken NATO control in the Eastern Mediterranean and threaten U.S. and allied access and security.

Gandhi and US relations in post assassination era
A Washington columnist reflects on Indira Gandhi’s leadership, arguing the US should reassure her successors of support to stabilize India amid regional threats and religious frictions. Reading her stance as pragmatic, the piece recalls her independence from Soviet pressure, her economic liberalization, and cautious stance toward the US–Soviet rivalry. It also notes Nixon and Reagan impressions and the potential path for US-India ties if the Reagan administration acts. The column shifts to unrelated notes on malpractice costs, a Florida court ruling, and a hospital hygiene campaign using a wearable bear.
