No place for King
King Constantine of Greece, who is in self-imposed exile, has been refused permission to join the Greek team for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, says an authoritative source in Athens. The King, who won a gold medal in yachting events at the 1960 Olympic Games, had asked the General Secretariat of Sports in Athens for a place in the Greek yachting team, the source said. King Constantine and his family left Greece after a coun-ter-coup against the militarybacked Government failed in December, 1967.—Athens, November 26.
