EDITORIAL

Politicians should set the example The public is not as naive as we tend to think in this country, so perhaps it is worth reiterating a neglected truth - that political parties are not profit-seeking companies nor are politicians their major shareholders. If we accept the aforementioned conviction, we can surmise that it is not the role of politicians to maximize their own profits, to seek enjoyment from power.

COMMENTARY

Simitis: The great and the small How a political leader goes down in history often depends not only on what he did and didn't do while in power but also on how he manages his retirement. Costas Simitis was a good prime minister - even his fiercest rivals admit to this now. Of course, the public did not really take to him because he regarded the average Greek with an almost Calvinistic outlook, giving the impression that he, Simitis, was the medicine that would cure all the citizens' ills.
