Overkill...
EDITORIAL

Brain drain Amongst the plethora of reports on the lack of quality in the Greek education system, there is often the risk of forgetting that these evaluations refer to the average, not the better, students. As this newspaper has often pointed out, these above-average students are those who honor their country by achieving success abroad.

COMMENTARY

Naturally, riding on the crest of the wave of the presidency and its «goals,» he is clearly in no mood to bother with the ruins his policies have left in his wake on the home front - the chaos in public works projects and the pitiful phenomena of entangled interests.
