Greek President...
EDITORIAL

Success and prudence The Greek government program to stabilize the national economy is finally yielding fruit. The success was confirmed on Monday in Brussels by EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Joaquin Almunia. The EU official said that Greece has returned to within eurozone fiscal levels as the deficit this year and next is expected to dip below the red-flag 3 percent level - that is without taking into account the recent revision of Greece's GDP.

COMMENTARY

Mixed message In politics there is no magic recipe. Politicians must respond to social change and be themselves, or at least appear to be. Even the less experienced can see through a politician who is not comfortable with what he is saying. Take George Papandreou: The dynastic factor did not eclipse his daring agenda: rapprochement with Turkey, liberalization of soft drugs, the OK to private universities.
