EDITORIAL

Adrift in dangerous waters All of the international bodies which have conducted recent surveys and studies on the present state of Greece have stressed weaknesses in three major sectors: education, social security and the economy.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Right on time We Greeks love a deadline because it helps remind us there was something we were meant to do. Deadlines in Greece tend to be like speed limits on highways – most people treat them as a recommendation made in hope rather than with any belief. Yet amid this lax timekeeping, there exists in Greece an underground world that’s still a mystery to many but in which punctuality is treated as a rule, not an eccentricity.
