Media interest was high as Foreign Minister George Papandreou
EDITORIAL
High cost of works
 Allegations that the total cost of building the Attiki Odos highway has skyrocketed to a level that by far exceeds the projected budget of 426.8 billion drachmas were seemingly well grounded. This conclusion can be drawn from the data that the government - reluctantly - released under pressure from the opposition. The government spokesman had a very difficult task yesterday as he strove to create confusion over the actual cost of the project.
COMMENTARY
Bracing for 2004
 New roads are being built while the old ones are being repaired. The Metro network is being expanded, undermined as it may be by the greed of constructors, a greed legitimated by the government's self-interest. New stadiums are being raised while older ones are refurbished. Stray animals in the area of the Zappeion are being eliminated, souvenirs are catching on, and sponsors seem confident that their revenues will far exceed their subsidies.
