Listless debate changes little
 Only televised discussion of Euro campaign involving party leaders fails to provide talking points

The only televised debate that will take place before the June 7 Euro elections among the leaders of the five parliamentary parties passed off without any major incident or surprises and is not likely to have helped the one in 10 Greek voters who remain undecided to make up their minds.

EDITORIAL
Slipshod control of finances
 One can only express awe and disbelief at the flippant manner in which public finances are being managed here in Greece. In yet another sign of this slipshod attitude, the conservative government reportedly has decided, on the occasion of the upcoming European Parliament elections on June 7, to go ahead with a spectacular increase in benefits to state officials.

Spies like us
 There is something quaint in our passionate sensitivity to personal privacy, which comes across as a mixture of uncompromising democratic sensibilities and an inexplicable guilt complex. The queasiness over allowing Google's Street View cameras to roam among us fits neatly into this paradigm: We don't want strangers following us about in our daily lives, just as we don't want any satellite images of our homes and property to be made available to government agencies and other prying eyes.
