EDITORIAL
Harmful tactics
 The - clearly premeditated - attack by PASOK's new campaign chief Theodoros Pangalos on New Democracy leader Costas Karamanlis was bound to make a bad impression. Some saw Pangalos's insults as the expression of his supposedly impulsive and self-destructive personality and of his urge to make a flamboyant display soon after being brought back to the front line of the ruling Socialists. But that is not the case. Pangalos's polarizing tactics were not his personal choice, but PASOK's party line.
COMMENTARY
The return of the dissident
 Having a computer with a huge memory would help one store the innumerable statements uttered by our loquacious politicians, and thus to compare and evaluate them. But before taking this step, one should bring oneself to a reluctant acknowledgement: The remarks made by politicians - especially those who are reduced to wordy and often self-contradictory television appearances - do have meaning, logic, and purpose, and they are not plain sophistries aimed at causing a stir.
