ATHENS, Greece - Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou survived a confidence vote in parliament early Wednesday, winning a gamble on his government's survival and the danger of a devastating debt default. Papandreou won more than the absolute majority of 151 votes he needed in the 300-member legislature to face down an internal party revolt and help him pass deeply disliked austerity measures that have provoked strikes, protests and a slump in his popularity.

HARTFORD -- State House Democrats were locked in an uncertain closed-door fight late Tuesday over whether Reps. James A. Amann of Milford or William R. Dyson of New Haven would become House speaker. A secret ballot gave Amann only 75 Democratic votes, one short of the absolute majority he needed to guarantee victory over Dyson in the leadership contest when the official vote is held in January. That inconclusive result could plunge House Democrats and Republicans into a two-month lobbying war over the speakership and might leave deep and lasting legislative wounds.

LAST week I wrote about efforts by majority Democrats in the Legislature to rob Californians of their right to use the initiative process to pass measures like Proposition 13 and Three Strikes over the objections of establishment politicians. Meanwhile, lawmakers are using an initiative they backed, Proposition 25, that gives them almost complete powers over the legislative process. In early 1920s Italy, prior to Benito Mussolini's fully establishing himself as absolute dictator, the Italian Parliament was still allowed to meet. The Fascists guaranteed the votes they needed to pass their agenda by having armed party members guard the doors of Parliament during debate and by stationing militiamen in the public galleries where they would make a great show of fingering their daggers and re...
