EDITORIAL
A crime without a culprit
 In this country, it seems no one is about to die of any excess of mortification. Last Saturday, just outside Halkida, a tragic, predictable accident took place. A street sign, such as those that hang above the national highway, dropped onto a car, killing a woman and injuring her husband. The sign had come loose a while ago and it was obvious that it was just a matter of time before it gave way.
COMMENTARY
Myopic planners
 It's common knowledge that Greece's universities have failed to live up to their mission; any exceptions only confirm the rule. It's a crucial failure because the quality of an education system has a direct impact on a nation's cultural and economic performance. Human capital is the most profitable target of investment.
