EDITORIAL

Restoring political life to Greece Do we have a political problem in this country? It seems that we do, even though the government enjoys a comfortable parliamentary majority and its relationship with the largest segment of the electorate has not been tainted. So what is the cause of the political problem? It has most certainly not cropped up suddenly; it has its roots in the past and these roots are deeper than we may think.

COMMENTARY

Holy mists and shadow fights Very often our public life appears as if some malevolent god has cast a mist over the eyes of the protagonists, so that neither they nor the rest of us can see reality. And so - stubborn and intense - we clash daily without reason, with no benefit. We build castles of opinion on erroneous data. In Homer's «Iliad,» Apollo casts a mist over Hector three times to save him from Achilles' deadly spear.
