What if we try to look at the whole of the Mediterranean at one time - as one economy? What will fail? what will survive? How will it change? What can we do?
"Berlusconi’s Retreat Upends Political Field" - NYTimes.com
How can one understand the politics of the Mediterranean when only the politics of a few countries get generally reported?

"Greek Workers Hold National Strike to Protest Austerity" - NYTimes.com

We need a map of Wi-Fi distribution in all Mediterranean places.
Monday, October 15, 2012

I hope this turns out to be a very good sign!
"The New Egypt" - NYTimes.com
It is hard to get all of this into clear focus. How can we do a better job?
"Spain May Pay Price for Delaying Aid Request" - NYTimes.com
This does not seem to be getting any easier.
"Egypt Uprising Film Depicts Crippling Social Divide" - NYTimes.com
This looks like an important film.
Sunday, October 14, 2012
"Portugal Readies Budget With Job Cuts and Tax Increases" - NYTimes.com
How can one possibly or reasonably expect otherwise?
"Tunisia Sets June Date for Presidential Elections" - NYTimes.com

What are all of the elections scheduled or likely to be scheduled in Mediterranean countries over the next 12-15 months?
"Lebanon Says Israeli Planes Circled Its Airspace for an Hour" - NYTimes.com
Frankly, Israel - thanks to the US - seems out of balance with everyone else in its region. The picture is not a good one by any fair measure, and we ought not be so supportive. Plenty of daylight between us, I think!
"In France, Jews and Muslims Warn of Anti-Semitism" - NYTimes.com
This surely demands a Mediterranean portion, at least, to the solution mix.
Monday, October 08, 2012

"The Wealth of Catalonia" - NYTimes.com
The flow of money in the Mediterranean is at least as important as is the movement of the sea itself.

We should probably think about a Mediterranean conference just on a one word subject - "Change".

Well, France has its law and others, like me, can choose to favor - however objectionable - the freedom to say awful things.
"Cinéma: Menton fait les yeux doux au septième art" - Nice-Matin
What a surprising, I guess, statistic on people choosing places to visit based on what they have seen in films.

Tuesday, October 02, 2012
"Spanish Protests, German Prescriptions" - NYTimes.com
The Northern Europe point of view sometimes does not fit very well with a more Mediterranean way of thinking, and in the extreme, as here, it can be devastating - just because, somehow, when it comes to economics and finance, somehow, some people think we need all think the same way.
"Mouvement de grève à France 3 Côte d'Azur, pas de JT ce mardi" - Nice-Matin
How often are we seeing labor actions at Mediterranean media that result in the cancellation of news programs or publications?
"Greek Government Submits Budget" - NYTimes.com
I still feel we are not seeing all of the reporting we should in ways that help us follow better what is happening. This is not just an occasional outburst, but a long cruise, and we need someone on watch at all times, not just for the unexpected, but for the ongoing as well.

Turkey puts 44 journalists on trial for terrorism and backing pro-Kurd group | World news | guardian.co.uk
I cannot remember when 44 reporters were on trial together. Has that happened anywhere else in the world? I realize that we need to address the question of what makes someone a journalist, but on a broader level, this is a lot of people all at once.
"Comment les libraires azuréens luttent pour subsister" - Nice-Matin
What are ways in which bookstores in othe Mediterranean countries are dealing with these challenges?

"Bound to Sea but Buried in Debt, Spain’s Fishermen Blame Bloc’s Policies" - NYTimes.com
How do we learn more - and keep that knowledge up to date - about the fish and other creatures of the Mediterranean Sea?

"White House Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance" - NYTimes.com
We need to find a way to present the entire Mediterranean and all of the aid and assstance it receives - or might receive - from anywhere in the world. That includes the US, but only as one country.
