| | Guardian | Little George takes on Greece's barons of sleaze |
 | | As foreign minister, George Papandreou presided over a quiet revolution in Greece's Balkan policies, backing Slobodan Milosevic's democratic opponents, a sea change in relations with Ankara and the sponsorship of UN peace plan that could see Turkish and Greek Cypriots reunited after more than 30 years. |
 | | We could be sitting in California or Sweden, anywhere but Levantine Greece, where everything is a plot, usually an American one, where national newspapers gleefully record Mr Papandreou's grammatical mistakes and Orthodox priests get on television to denounce the man with an American mother. |
 | | Greece, one of the fastest growing economies in the EU, is rapidly becoming one of its most expensive countries to live in. |
