EDITORIAL

Exercise in futility Public relations exercises are synonymous with foreign policy. In fact, promoting a country's national interests abroad must be based largely on personal relations and regular contacts. That said, there can be no foreign policy without a clear, central objective. Cultivating public relations for petty political gain is counterproductive and alienates the average voter.

COMMENTARY

But the bonds scandal was not just another scandal, it was an organized squandering of the holiest of wealth: the pensioners' savings.

In soccer terms, the Socialists found themselves alone facing the opposition goalie but, once again, failed to score.
