EDITORIAL

The need to be above suspicion For a number of years now, there have been a string of indications that members of ministers' families are involved in business deals and other «arrangements» with state services. No one can deny the right of a spouse or some other close relative to pursue their professional interests or continue a career they have already established, provided though that they observe certain rules.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

A modern death cult For a people so much in love with life, it is astonishing to see how keenly the Greeks court death - and nowhere is this more evident than in the way they drive. Even though billions have been spent on road and other infrastructure projects since Greece joined the European Union in 1981, such is the quality of our roads and so great our recklessness that our country is still the EU's leader in road deaths. Our roads are the stage on which we strut and display every personal and collective weakness to the deadliest effect.
