Soon after he got the two-month extension of his group's insurance, Sosenko thought he might have found a more permanent solution, courtesy of the local Provena Saint Joseph Hospital. Surgeons like to have a pulmonologist standing by when they perform a complicated procedure like open heart surgery. So the hospital offered to hire Sosenko and his colleagues as staff physicians and cover them under its liability insurance. However, Provena's insurance company wouldn't cover the doctors if they continued to see patients outside the hospital, even part time. "Maybe it was silly to take the two-month...

A space designed for a young woman in a small apartment might feature a gate-leg table and chairs that can be hung on the wall; for a single parent, the store will show toy storage that is accessible to kids but can be easily...
...Some policemen also perform special favors for politicians and influential businessmen. Wiretapping a pol's rivals is a big moneyspinner. An assassin (TIME agreed not to publish his name) claims that cops knew he was under contract with a political party. He says he was treated like a "VVIP" whenever he visited a police station. "The police wouldn't dare touch us." He had to laugh when the police took credit, four-and-a-half years ago, for one of his own kills. "He was a hit man, too, sent down from Lahore by a rival political party...
