THE NEW GREEK BAILOUTWhile Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of Greece is trying to get his Parliament to agree to the latest bailout deal, Greek banks are in need
of a bailout of their own. The European Central Bank has kept them
running for months with emergency loans, but it won't provide any
additional cash - it is waiting for Parliament to approve Monday's bailout deal. This means Greek banks may not open this week and could soon run out of cash, Jack Ewing writes
in The New York Times. Every day that the banks stay closed adds to
their problems and the eventual cost of an overhaul, Mr. Ewing notes.
