Battle for survival

Greece is bracing for more clashes between police and those pampered sectors of the population (students, government workers) upset that their benefits must be cut if the country is to dig itself out of its fiscal hole. Greece is in "a battle for survival," said Prime Minister George Papandreou, though I'm not sure this is the battle he had in mind.The hope is that the Germans will bail them out. Perhaps they will, but how would you like to be told, as say an autoworker in Stuttgart, that you are expected to help pay the pensions of Greek civil servants? Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
