...from an emeritus German prof...

I asked an emeritus German prof at that one year-end reception with African food what he thought about the German bailout of Greece.

He said it was self-interest, Germany exports so much to Greece, including even toothpaste.

When I said I wondered if we'd have the euro still in three years, he was very pleasant and like, "I think we will. You know, the crisis of the euro is not world news. In Europe, all the headlines are about the crisis of the dollar!"
