 Crete: place of dreams and wonders Special note: Today we are doing something different. Instead of just talking about politics, we will begin a new series by the talented Colette Hartwich. In it, Ms. Hartwich will discuss her current project of finding a new home on the island of Crete. Stay tuned for more about her adventures in Greece.   By Colette Hartwich As a family, we consider Crete (Greece) our second motherland. With its magical diet, Crete is linked to longevity, fabulous jewelry techniques and of course olive trees. Crete, embedded in Minoan culture, is also the birthplace of the labyrinth and the Minotaur, or at least the legend of it.   For seven long years now, we have been looking for the ideal spot for a house: close enough to the sea as there is nothing better than a fresh morning dive straight from your porch; close enough to a village, so that, in recent years the frequent forest fires, at least to a part one could rely on some sort of fire brigade; with a few oliv

  Say what?   The Communist Party of Russia …remember them? Used to be big in the totalitarian business…has sued Putin and his pals for rigging the recent elections in that country. They’ve even joined with the Putin’s various other critics in launching a legal campaign to get the elections overturned.(*) In a word, Whoa. The elections were, obviously, completely crooked. But there is something a bit stunning about the fact that the Russian Communists would actually find the spine (and the will) to say so. And that they would join with other opposition candidates in beginning legal action against Putin is astonishing.   It says something about the modern world in general, and modern Russia in particularly, that even the Communist Party is looking a bit like a coalition of moderates, and a bulwark against corruption. ~mjt *”Communists sue, say online voting in Moscow was rigged,” by Daria Litvinova, AP, Sep 29, 2021, https://apnews.com/article/europe-russia-elections-lawsuits-voting-e83
