EDITORIAL

Scandal of jobs for the boys The nepotism shown by Greece's political parties in handing out jobs at Parliament was much worse than a simple error of judgment. In fact, it was nothing short of scandalous. At a time when politics is rapidly losing its general credibility, the country's parliamentary deputies decided to show their fellow Greeks just how much regard they have for their finer feelings.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Athens’s parallel universe Transportation in Athens is one of the most important things determining the quality of life of its residents and the memories that visitors take home with them. Cars - parked or in motion - swarm over every inch of road and sidewalk. Motorcycles rumble and screech between vehicles and pedestrians, ignoring all laws and all logic. Delivery trucks, disgorging clouds of diesel fumes, block traffic lanes whenever and wherever they see fit. Taxis crawl along the curb, fishing for more customers to jam next to the trapped wretches already suffering from the heat, the sweat, the cigarette smoke, the agony of a missed appointment.
