As she gets back to work, Amal Alamuddin has a big new case – and a new name, too. Listed as Amal Clooney on the website for her London-based firm, Doughty Street Chambers, the new wife of George Clooney arrived in Athens, Greece, on Monday to meet with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and various culture officials throughout the week. Her agenda: discussing Greece’s long-running, ill-fated bid to win back a collection of classical Greek marble sculptures variously known as the Parthenon Marbles or the Elgin Marbles from the British Museum in London. The move comes amid mounting pressure on the British Museum to return the marble masterpieces lining the walls of its Duveen Gallery since British diplomat Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin, removed them from the Acropolis more than 200 years ago. On a personal note: I have seen the Elgin Marbles in London, and think it would be wonderful if we could see them in their natural setting during our group trip to Greece in October 2015. Good luck Mrs. Clooney. Joy
