EDITORIAL
Piggybacking power
 The resignation of the prime minister's chief press adviser once again underscored a perennial ill besetting our political system. Our country has enjoyed democratic institutions for more than a quarter of a century, but one must be blind not to see that alongside the institutionalized and accountable bodies there flourish several extra-institutional power centers that often muster more power than their elected counterparts.
COMMENTARY
The big invalid
 Terrorism, the resignation of the premier's press aide, the capital's socialites, the looming war in Iraq, the Cyprus problem and other important issues may monopolize public interest, if one follows mainstream media, but the great invalid, the one that will have a decisive effect on people's lives and political developments, is the economy. Official statistics fail to demonstrate the problem but daily life has many examples to offer: Stock markets are under pressure; they can't create new income. Many companies are being forced to downsize or reduce their activities.
