Greek parties in last-ditch talks

Under the category of good news from Greece, The Financial Times reports Greek Unity Talks Hit Impasse. Talks between Greece’s president and the leaders of the country’s three largest political parties on forming a coalition government reached an impasse on Sunday, increasing the chances that the country will hold fresh national elections in June.
