MONKS: (From a commentary in Kathimerini) A nun – Sister Evlavia – has been caught in a Volos nightclub doing the national dance of our friend Turkey, the belly dance, to loud applause from customers and to the accompaniment of the bouzouki. Yesterday, a novice monk, identified as D.P. was arrested on the steamship Karaiskakis for stealing 1,250 drachmas from another passenger. A cleanup is indisputably in order to preserve the good name of the monastic orders.
