In the second and third paragraph you can read:

appoint Metr. Athenagoras to the position of Archbishop of North and South America...

dissension between Royalists and Venizelists who had virtually divided the country...

in the personal airplane of the American president Harry Truman...

Giving to the reader the impression that the writer doesn't know the difference between the Americas and the U.S.A.

[edit] Who where the Royalists and the Venizelists?

It seems that there's no info in wikipedia about them: Royalists Venizelists --euyyn 21:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

They were two political groups in early 20th c. Greece. The Venizelists were partisans of Eleftherios Venizelos, the prime minister of Greece, while the Royalists supported rule by the Greek monarchy. —Preost ^{talk contribs} 03:12, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
