For now, still part of the Eurozone

It looks like a sufficient pro-bailout coalition will be able to be assembled in Greece's parliament to calm momentary jitters.  But let us remember that this is a nation in which riots flare at the mere suggestion that taxi drivers, teachers, tourism workers, hair stylists and various types of paper-pushers would have to assume more responsibilities for their individual destinies - i.e., give up some government goodies.  "Austerity measures" is a bad word along the Mediterranean shoreline.
