EDITORIAL

Deft touch for a name settlement The name dispute with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has become an open wound in Greece's foreign policy. It's also a domestic political problem. Politicians shy away from the issue fearing a public backlash. In the past, the governments in Athens and Skopje both wasted opportunities to reach an honest compromise. Politicians in both countries were wary of the political cost that a settlement would entail.

COMMENTARY

Memorials to the environment Today is World Environment Day - a day of mourning, that is, but fortunately that has nothing to do with us. For here we have never had that insidious killer, smog, in Athens, Thessaloniki, Ptolemaida or Megalopoli... We have never had a capital where two great rivers have been filled in by the state or built upon by private interests (as the state turned a blind eye).
