No tsunami monitoring Despite past disasters, Greece still lacks an early-warning system

While killer tsunamis comparable to those caused by Sunday's giant earthquake off Indonesia are known to have struck the Aegean archipelago and surrounding coastal areas in the not-so-distant past, Greece still lacks an early warning system for tidal waves, scientists warned yesterday.

EDITORIAL
Curbing road deaths
 The comparatively low number of road casualties over the Christmas weekend this year was a boost to Greece's traffic police, which saw its efforts at more systematic monitoring bear fruit. For their part, drivers seemed to be responding positively to the stricter measures, as only a few were caught driving under the influence of alcohol.
COMMENTARY
Conservative awakening
 The internal friction marking the Greek Right over the past 25 years has disillusioned its grassroot supporters. It is a sign of political immaturity, and indicates a failure to deal with real problems. Instead of liberating creative forces, it breeds navel gazing. Conservative leaders have repeatedly tried to restore the New Democracy party's equilibrium, but these efforts always ended up in failure.
