EDITORIAL

Mortgaging the future of us all The diversion of the country's second-longest river, the Acheloos in western Greece to the heavily farmed plain of Thessaly, demonstrates that serving local interests can often be very shortsighted and is invariably destructive. Such tactics play havoc with our ecosystems. In this case, the diversion of the Acheloos to the primitive irrigation system of the Thessaly plain is causing the death of the river, as half of its precious water is being lost.

COMMENTARY

Arrogance and punishment Who could have imagined that the invasion of cameras into every aspect of private and public life would have such beneficial results? There we were, worrying that faceless, hidden state security agents would be watching our every move, like Big Brother in George Orwell's legendary «1984.» Now we are witnessing exactly the opposite: Big Brother's little agents are being uncovered and paraded before the world's contemptuous gaze because of their ill treatment of prisoners.
