EDITORIAL

Humanist values The exaggerated, if not naive, talk about the impending «end of history» following the collapse of the Soviet system underscored popular hope and anticipation that the values that had won the Cold War above all expressed respect for man and man's diverse cultures across the world.

COMMENTARY

Papandreou vs PASOK George Papandreou's appearance in Parliament last week signaled an attempt to distance himself from the legacy of Costas Simitis, his predecessor at the helm of the Socialist party. Pledging his party's support for government legislation against corruption and conflicting interests, PASOK's leader in January acknowledged the extent of a problem that offered a tempting target for criticism by New Democracy during its years in opposition. Simitis's government had repeatedly shirked responsibility, calling on the opposition to present any evidence to the prosecutor. Simitis's governments rejected all anti-graft legislation tabled by the conservatives.
