EDITORIAL

Time to find those worth trusting The worst thing that can happen to a society is to see its institutions collapse - for the institutions are the glue that keep a society together. Regrettably, Greeks have many reasons to feel less sure about the health of the country's institutions these days. The fact is that all the people who have been implicated in the major scandals that have made the headlines over the past few years have escaped unpunished. The judicial system has failed us. Greek universities produce worthless degrees.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

2008: The end of illusions Even before the year started, it was evident that 2008 would be difficult, mainly because of the storm clouds gathering on the horizon as the housing market crashed in the United States.
