SPAIN: Suzanne Daley has an excellent piece on shrinking credit lines for small businesses...as 45 regional banks have dwindled to 13.
EUROZONE : Jeff Sommer's fascinating column is about Ireland's betting website INTRADE...where gamblers/crowd sourcing currently predict the odds of a 2012 Grexit at 41.7%...60% by end of 2013...and 68.7% by 2014.
It also puts President Obama's chances at re-election...at 57.1%
PORTUGAL: Finally...Frank Bruni has a travel piece about Lisboa/Lisbon.
Lisboa is one of this editor's favorite cities.
It is hilly like SF, Ca...and like the Bay Area...has a distinct nautical feel.
Many big ships are refitted there...and must pass under its magnificent bridge...that so resembles the SFBay's Golden Gate...which celebrates 75 years this month.
