According to an in-deptharticle in the Union-Tribune, Athens is having a particularly Greek time getting ready for the 2004 Olympics.
I love that they find ancient artifacts whenever they dig. “History? Yeah, we got history lyin’ around.” You can’t build a thing without hitting a 2500-year-old Temple of Aphrodite complex, complete with brothel. Great stuff. [...]
