EDITORIAL

Protection from the protectors The involvement of a member of the coast guard's special forces in the recent fatal beating of a young Australian tourist on the island of Myconos provides yet further evidence of the widespread lawlessness that pervades the state machinery. What this involvement tells us is that while the state has shown itself to be incapable of protecting its own police stations from attacks by unruly groups of protesters, those whose duty it is to protect citizens are busy providing their services to nightclubs and other such businesses.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Life after the Games In the runup to the Athens Olympics, some of us wondered whether there would be life after 2004. The entire country was involved in a gigantic effort to get ready in time for the opening ceremony four years ago. Roads were being constructed, stadiums completed, volunteers trained, the November 17 terror gang dismantled - even the city's notorious taxi drivers were being put through etiquette classes. The latest, massive infusion of European Union funding was programmed to end in 2004. Even the political landscape was undergoing massive change, with PASOK looking certain to lose the spring elections after being in power almost continually from 1981.
