EDITORIAL

A greener zoning plan The new land zoning law submitted to Parliament by Development Minister Christos Folias has prompted reactions among a large number of technical experts and environmental groups. Nevertheless, the proposed legislation has been of help by touching off a fruitful debate about the future of Greece. After all, the blueprint concerns every aspect of the country's future: the environment, the economy, business and tourism.

COMMENTARY

The jester gets the last laugh The non-unity and poor performance of Romano Prodi's left-of-center government no doubt contributed to its premature downfall. But this alone cannot explain the conservatives' victory in Italy's elections. The picture is incomplete without the Silvio Berlusconi phenomenon. Ironic comments about his antics bypass the fact that the media mogul has starred in Italian politics for some 15 years - most of the time as premier.
