I've heard of him. Some of his work is interesting. He's very critical of Greek culture in general. Needless to say, he's not very popular in Greece right now.

End of November 2001. After 9.11, ANA combined the ORD and IAD routes into one daily IAD-ORD-NRT service. That didn't last long, only one month, and IAD-NRT went back to non-stop.
And they dropped ORD?
