from National Public Radio

Greek protesters have unfurled banners over the ancient walls of their country's most famous monument -- the Acropolis. It was part of a two-day strike to protest budget cuts the Greek government announced over the weekend. Athens must reduce spending if it wants to receive tens of billions of dollars in loans from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
