EDITORIAL

New museum more than just a building Organizers must make sure that the New Acropolis Museum does not get tainted by the chronic problems and sloppiness that traditionally dog Greece's public sector. The museum needs a modern operational framework and the freedom of extensive administrative independence. For one thing, opening times must suit the museum's visitors, not the staff.

COMMENTARY

Appeasement industry The mad cow scare was only the first in a series of food scandals to follow: dioxins in olive oil and chickens, hormones in pork, traces of poisonous pesticides in fruit and vegetables, heavy metals and toxins in fresh fish. The numbers and statistics were mobilized after every scandal to be served up to the horrified masses. People always hope that if the experts are right about the legal limits, they will once again have escaped the danger.
