- <p> Among Western nations in the path of the East European
- exodus, Greece is the destination of choice for shepherds.
- First, hordes of penniless Bulgarian shepherds showed up sans
- flocks. Then Albanian shepherds started pouring in, bringing
- along their herds. Athens sent the Albanians home but kept the
- animals. Sheep without shepherds + shepherds without sheep =
- solution, yes? No. E.C. rules prevent Athens from exporting,
- selling or giving away the sheep. Athens is now seeking aid to
- provide the Bulgarians with fresh flocks. Meanwhile, the
- Albanian sheep are not long for this world. Anybody for shish
- kebab?
