The Independent newspaper (UK) has a revealing article about wealthy Greeks and their current unease about Greece’s near-bankruptcy: “The wealthy citizens of Glyfada are worried – and plotting their escape.” It is actually a sad article, showing quite clearly that many Greeks may have waited too long.
