Greeks Vote to Abolish Monarchy in Referendum Victory

With 92 percent counted, about 1.3 million supported the republic, while monarchists trailed. King Constantine fled into exile as Parliament prepares a new constitution and presidential elections. Leaders from across the spectrum framed the vote as a national triumph and a step toward independence and sovereignty.
