Dimitris, who owns a small retail operation, admits he cheats on his taxes. He says he only submits tax invoices for roughly half of what he sells - about $17,000 of the $34,000 he takes in every year - and pockets the 19% sales tax he collects on the rest.

...multibillion-dollar sporting spectacle, yet participants were obliged to sing, dance and play their fiddles in celebration of it. Let the games begin! Second, while the Beijing murder was a terrible tragedy, it was a random act of violence. On Friday, an athlete was killed pursuing what Olympic officials sell as the epitome of purity: Go faster, go higher...
