NP - And Greece created Europe: the cultural legacy of a nation in crisis

[Ian Livingston]

History is a fountainhead of information and instruction, but far too
shifty to base current economic loyalties upon. You won't find many
folks more philhellennic than I, but I wouldn't intentionally give a
Greek my credit card. I would, however, debate ideas endlessly with a
Greek before most Americans I know.

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all
creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
