...trade in advance of next year's Olympic Games. The Church's Holy Synod accused city officials of wanting to license extra brothels to cope with an expected increase in demand during the Games. Prostitution is legal in Greece if practiced in a licensed brothel; each brothel can employ up to three people. City officials plan to register 230 establishments for a total of 960 approved sex workers.

Emergency rooms from Orlando, Fla., to Belleville, Mo., report that rising insurance premiums are making it difficult for them to employ the trauma specialists needed to treat car-accident victims. In protest, doctors from New Jersey to Washington State are taking to the streets and engaging in work slowdowns and strikes. Nearly 100 physicians in and around Jacksonville, Fla., have stopped performing elective surgery, making the county activate an emergency response system...
