EDITORIAL

Minority fascism Greek universities and technical colleges are in a state of disgrace and decline. A small minority of students (including some people outside the student community) insist on imposing their own convictions by force. University asylum legislation was first introduced to safeguard academic freedom and not in order to protect people who wish to practice violence, steal or destroy university property that has been acquired with taxpayer money.

COMMENTARY

Candidates for everyone A few days after the Republican candidate for president (and Vietnam war hero) John McCain claimed that Barack Obama was unfit to lead the US because he had not served in the military, the Democrat front-runner tried to show that he too had an heroic past, albeit indirectly: His grandmother's brother, Charlie Payne, was among the US troops who liberated Auschwitz, Obama said. Unfortunately for Obama, it was the Red Army that entered that death camp in January, 1945. Uncle Charlie and the 89th Infantry Division liberated Buchenwald.
