WORLD : Greek Premier Granted Divorce
An Athens court today granted Premier Andreas Papandreou a divorce, ending his 38-year marriage to his American-born wife, Margaret.
The court issued the divorce on the basis of a suit Papandreou filed March 30 saying the couple had been separated for at least four years, a court spokesman said. The 70-year-old Papandreou has been living with former airline hostess Dimitra Liani, 35, since October.
Papandreou married the former Margaret Chant, 66, of Elmhurst, Ill., in 1951. They have four children.
Greek newspapers have speculated that Papandreou may marry Liani next Sunday, one week before the June 18 general elections.
