EDITORIAL
Law enforcement and the lack thereof
 The bill banning the sale of tobacco to juveniles is a positive step forward and will be even more so if it is actually enforced. Naturally there is some suspicion among many Greeks, bearing in mind the state's track record for passing laws that are never implemented. The state protects its children only on paper; in practice it is indifferent to their fate.
COMMENTARY
Sinking deep into the morass
 The new year is looking rather listless and Greeks like dejected skeptics, lacking optimism, suspicious toward the state and its institutions, afraid of the future and international challenges. They fear the confrontation between the West and Islam, their own household poverty, the destruction of the environment, the consequences of globalization and the international financial crisis. They are beginning to see their country and society as small and themselves as weak and unprotected in the open globalized landscape. They feel exposed to the winds of change and know they are out there, unprepared and ill-equipped, without a plan and virtually without leadership.
