As Referendum Looms, Greece’s Tourism Industry Holds Its Breath
Hundreds of thousands of Greeks make a living in tourism, and though officials say visits have been steady, economic tumult in the high season has many worried.People will continue to go.
Krugman:
Europe Wins
Tsipras and
Syriza have won big in the referendum, strengthening their hand for
whatever comes next. But they’re not the only winners: I would argue
that Europe, and the European idea, just won big — at least in the sense
of dodging a bullet.
I know that’s not how
most people see it. But think of it this way: we have just witnessed
Greece stand up to a truly vile campaign of bullying and intimidation,
an attempt to scare the Greek public, not just into accepting creditor
demands, but into getting rid of their government. It was a shameful
moment in modern European history, and would have set a truly ugly
precedent if it had succeeded.
But it didn’t. You
don’t have to love Syriza, or believe that they know what they’re doing —
it’s not clear that they do, although the troika has been even worse —
to believe that European institutions have just been saved from their
own worst instincts. If Greece had been forced into line by financial
fear mongering, Europe would have sinned in a way that would sully its
reputation for generations. Instead, it’s something we can, perhaps,
eventually regard as an aberration.
And if Greece ends up
exiting the euro? There’s actually a pretty good case for Grexit now —
and in any case, democracy matters more than any currency arrangement."

Making Congressional Research Service Reports Public
A former employee worries that wider access to reports might change the focused, nonpartisan nature of the work.If the reports are cited in the public record they should be accessible to the public.
Congress is composed of representatives.
Members and committees can have secrets but the work of the congress as a whole is the work of the people.
The population should not have secrets from itself.

The parole board must assess the character of the man before them rather than the man who did the crime.
If learning and growth are impossible
the parole board is purposeless and its meetings cruel and unusual.
