[EX Q]: But no matter who wins the national election  few believe that Greece can go on without a major overhaul of its government. In Thessaloniki   Mr. Boutaris  has been trying to do that on a local scale for 18 months  bringing  his  experience as a businessman to bear on the bloated work force  the tangled regulations and the huge debt that afflicts the city  much as it does the country.
Many of  his  efforts have prompted city workers to strike and protest. But  he  is undeterred. Nor does  he  have any patience for the shop owners who have ignored  his  efforts to clean up the look of this gracious but somewhat shabby city by enforcing rules about modest signage.
âThere was one guy who said to me  he  wants Thessaloniki to be like Hong Kong â  Mr. Boutaris  said with a shake of  his  head and an expletive. âWell  I said  âI donât want to be like Hong Kong. You think your business will be destroyed because you donât have a sign on the fifth floor? I donât think so.â â
Thessaloniki was about $126 million in debt when  Mr. Boutaris  a successful winemaker   was sworn into office. ( His  predecessor has since been indicted  along with 17 others. They are accused of stealing almost $38 million.) The city was doing a poor job of delivering basic services  most importantly in garbage collection. It was losing manufacturing jobs to Bulgaria. And as far as  Mr. Boutaris  was concerned  Thessaloniki was far from meeting its potential as a tourist attraction and a port city that offers easy access to the Balkans.
 Mr. Boutaris  has hardly solved all the issues. But  he  is already widely credited with increasing tourism  which  he  sees as a way of generating revenues without the need for expensive investment. Brushing aside centuries of tense relations with Turkey   Mr. Boutaris  set off to Istanbul to initiate a campaign to attract tourists.
Shortly afterward  Turkish Airlines resumed flights here  and the number of Turks visiting the city â the birthplace of Turkeyâs first president  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk â doubled last year.  Mr. Boutaris  has also reached out to Israel because the Thessaloniki region  with a population of about one million  once had a large Jewish population. Cruise ships now stop here more frequently.
At the same time   Mr. Boutaris  has taken measures large and small to rein in the budget.  He  hired an auditor to get to the bottom of the cityâs finances  which until recently still involved cash transactions into city pension funds. (Employees were handed stacks of bills and told to make deposits. This is said to have played a large roll in the indictments.)  He  has forced workers to account for their overtime  started a recycling program and traded in  his  limousine for an economy model. So far   Mr. Boutaris  has reduced costs by 30 percent.
âWhat I am trying to do is to open all fronts and create a huge turbulence â  Mr. Boutaris  said. âWhen you propose the slightest change  people say no. If you do it all at once  it is a different thing. Something has to break through.â
âAnd you cannot step back â  he  added. âIf you step back  you lose.â
 Mr. Boutaris  is a rarity in Greece  where most people who seek higher office are career politicians.  He  won election by just 300 votes.  He  is unusually candid  by Greek standards  about  himself .  He  has admitted to being an alcoholic and no longer drinks. And  he  was divorced for seven years and then remarried  his  wife.
Residents here talk about how approachable  he  is compared with the usual politician.  He  rides a bicycle around town and sits in cafes like everyone else  debating the cityâs problems. In fact   Mr. Boutaris  denies  he  is a politician.  He  says running the city is just a project  something to keep  him  busy now that  he  has turned  his  wine business over to  his  three children.
âMy wife said  âYou need to find something else to do â â  Mr. Boutaris  says of  his  decision to go into politics.
 HE  initially joined the Communist Party  but soon resigned.  He  considers  himself  a socialist  but belongs to no party.  His  goal   he  said  is to make Thessaloniki a place where businesses can flourish. But  he  is not happy with the local merchants. The small shopkeepers   he  said  do not want to pay taxes and complain that the malls are undercutting their business.
 Mr. Boutaris  says they must stay open later to compete with the malls  which are open until 9 p.m. But the shop owners are not interested. Another expletive.
Before taking office   Mr. Boutaris  was known for  his  winery and for establishing a preserve to protect bears and wolves.  He  says  his  intent was to preserve the forest  but the bears were an easier selling point. âEverybody likes bears â  he  said. âThe forest would have been harder.â
The garbage trucks are also a problem. More than half are out for repairs at any given time. So  Mr. Boutaris  has decided to contract the maintenance to a private company. City workers promptly went on strike  fearing further privatization. âIt will be settled soon â  he  said. âIâm 70 years old  and I believe I know what I am doing.â

[EX Q]: Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri  arrived back in Lebanon two weeks after  he  announced  his  surprise resignation while in Saudi Arabia. Within hours of landing at Beirut International Airport  Hariri shocked the country by announcing he had put his resignation "on hold" while talks with Hezb'allah and other political factions are underway.
Al Jazeera's Zein Khodr  reporting from Beirut  said that Hariri's tone has shifted since he gave his resignation speech two weeks ago. "He [Hariri] didn't even mention Hezbollah or Iran[.] ... He even said that he's looking forward to a partnership with all political parties in the country "What is clear is that there has been intensive discussions behind closed doors " she said. "The resignation was an attempt by Saudi Arabia to curb Hezbollah's influence[.] ... That attempt backfired[.] ...  Hariri  was conciliatory in  his  message."
What is going on? Whatever influence Saudi Arabia was exercising over  Hariri  has weakened since  he  left the kingdom. Before returning to Lebanon   Hariri  had meetings with several leaders  including Macron of France and el-Sisi of Egypt. France has a keen interest in what happens in Lebanon  since the tiny nation is a former French colony. And as a Sunni regional power  Egypt is on the front lines of resisting the spread of Iran's influence.
Those "intense discussions" almost certainly included Hezb'allah. Given that  Hariri  cited threats against  his  life by pro-Iranian and pro-Syrian factions in Lebanon as a primary reason for  his  resignation  it is possible that some sort of backroom deal with the terrorists was struck that gives certain assurances to  Hariri  regarding  his  personal safety. For Hezb'allah  part of that deal could have included  Hariri  promising to back away from Saudi Arabia.

[EX Q]: In one of Patâs favorite interviews   Felipe CalderÃ³n  lectures Americans on how terrible states like Arizona are for cracking down on illegal immigration.
Several years ago   CalderÃ³n  sat down with Wolf Blitzer to discuss illegal immigration in his country and the U.S.âs âmistreatmentâ of illegal immigrants  and the most poignant point of all made by  CalderÃ³n  was when Blitzer asked  âIf somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America through the southern border of Mexico and they wind up in Mexico  they can go get a job? They can work?â
âIf somebody do that  without permissions  we send back them â said  CalderÃ³n .
 He  went on to share documentation is required by those entering into Mexico including some sort of assurance they arenât criminals.
What  CalderÃ³n  is saying here is the U.S. should allow everyone into this country and just let them be. âThat is just mindnumbing â said Pat. âAnd no awareness that thereâs any problem with it   he âs not even embarrassed to say it.â
