...nurses, by increasing their numbers and training them to take on more responsibilities. "A medical professional should be in a position to find a hospital that can do an emergency" treatment, rather than ask ambulance staff - who, she says, are not medical professionals - "to keep making calls in vain." Kondo agrees that allowing trained nurses and paramedics more freedom to act in emergency situations could help. "I'm pretty critical of the fact that doctors have such a monopoly over any kind of diagnosis and treatment," says Kondo. "In this regard, Japan needs to go in the U.S. route...

...finish second in the race, with 17 million votes. These days, her grades - and her ability to get on with her political colleagues - have slipped. In a new book set for publication Feb. 5, Royal not only belittles her victorious rival, President Nicolas Sarkozy, as a greedy, vain, amoral "little boy happy to be surrounded by his toys," she also takes swipes with similar venom at fellow Socialist Party heavyweights. Oddly enough, Royal appears to hope that the book's belligerent and paranoid-sounding attacks on friends and foes alike will boost her popularity ahead of another anticipated...
