Today’s choice is perhaps the biggest star on the list, but only in Greece. I’m honoring her for having a hit record there during the summer my wife and I were honeymooning there. I was oblivious to Greek pop music at the time, of course. But there it was, it was in the air, and that will always be one of the happiest three weeks of my life. So I feel I owe a debt to the country, in all of its scattershot mosaic details. It was really the best place we could have been, five Augusts ago. <>
