EDITORIAL
Increasing VAT is no solution
 A return to looting public finances - for example, by increasing VAT, a step being considered by the government - represents a step back into the past. Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis won the September 16 vote on the platform of a new ethos in government, on change and reform, and on the promise that there would be no changes to value-added tax.
COMMENTARY
The cranes are back
 If the job of transporting the ancient monuments from the Acropolis to the new museum is really an undertaking of such world-shattering importance as the rhetoric of politicians, technocrats and the media would have us believe, then we will have to invent new words to do proper justice to a description of the Parthenon monuments themselves.
