Description
When AP correspondent Eddy Gilmore's poor speaking acquaintance with the Greek language confused a taxi driver and got him to the Athens hotel reserved for Europe's crowned heads, it started a chain of fairy tale circumstances last night. He was mistaken for Ex-King Farouk of Egypt, right, and swept into line with royalty at King Constantine's State Ball.
