Greek-Americans help fill Bush's coffers

WASHINGTON - Greek Americans helped President Bush raise $1.5 million Wednesday night at a re-election fundraiser in the nation's capital, where he began his drive for $170 million nine months ago.

Greek surnames dominated the list of donors for the event, one day before a White House "Celebration of Greek Independence Day." Alex Spanos, owner of the NFL's San Diego Chargers, was the event's chairman. His son, Dean, the team's president, was a co-host.

Contributors included Jan Antonoplos, the Delaware County, Ohio, clerk of courts; Simos Dimas, a Bronxville, N.Y., lawyer; and William Stavropoulos, director of Computer Associates International, Inc., one of the federal government's top 100 contractors.
