A dead heat in Greece

                             
A dead heat in Greece's referendum campaign with just two days to go before Sunday's vote on whether Greeks should accept more austerity in return for bailout loans.


What would that mean for the Greek people and for the European Union's 16-year-old shared currency — the crown jewel of a six-decade-old project in binding Europe's countries closer together? For Greece, the short-term pain and turmoil could be extreme whereas the currency union would likely survive the initial shock.

With aid negotiations off and ATMs running out of money, it's not speculation any more. Greece could leave the euro. And soon.
