Exarchia yesterday... Children and their parents watch performers on stilts on a pedestrianized street in the central Athens district of Exarchia yesterday.
EDITORIAL

A diplomatic tug of war that can be won Everything seems to indicate that Greece will have to block FYROM's NATO membership bid at the upcoming alliance summit. Regardless of the negotiating errors that have been made in the previous weeks, the moment of truth for the Macedonia name dispute has finally arrived. The conservative government in Athens must maintain a sober stance and avoid the diplomatic pitfalls lying beneath the last-minute American pressure.

COMMENTARY

The battle of our civilization Civilizations develop when they make the best possible use of natural resources and human talent; they collapse when they are unable to maintain the works left by their ancestors, when natural conditions change or when markets and trade routes move elsewhere. Our civilization is facing great challenges on all these fronts. The efforts to find solutions and tackle the problems are at an early phase.
