EDITORIAL

Lifeline made in Europe The heads of the eurozone countries have saved the honor of Europe, for the time being. Their decision to adopt the rescue plan hammered out by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, unlocking more than 1 trillion euros in rescue funds for the stumbling banking sector, sent the right message to international financial markets, which yesterday showed significant signs of recovery. Everything seems to indicate that the administration of the United States will also follow the European-inspired model for staving off the global financial meltdown.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

A deluge of despair In the last nine months, close to 11,000 illegal immigrants were intercepted by the coast guard as they tried to enter Greece through the eastern islands that lie close to Turkey.
