From Greece

We are all shocked here with the situation. Thelunatics have opened the gates of Hell. All the best forrecovery from the emotional shock. As for the myriadsof dead, may their souls rest in peace.

Theodore Eliades, Athens

Yes, we need each other in good times and bad. Thesuccess of the World Federation of Orthodontists

(WFO) is a testament to the value of developing astrong organization in every country with its own meet-ings as well as a plan for board certification. Our veryown Journal relies heavily on support from the interna-tional community to broaden the scientific base ofknowledge. As the free world shares the common expe-rience of organization and purpose, we hope that wewon’t need another earthquake or terrorist act to bringus together.
