Spitzer bombshell
Clearly, today's news trumps anything happening on the city desk. And since I'm not in New York City, I did my best to travel there via the internet. Below are some links to interesting sidebars to the story. See tomorrow's paper for the reactions of local politicians.

It's a shame that so many of our fellow citizens are so righteous and Puritanical.
The government should legalize and regulate prostitution.
With all of the money taxpayers have spent on enforcing, prosecuting, and incarcerating these consenting adults it would seem the problem of prostitution would be a thing of the past. And yet not only is prostitution considered the oldest profession it remains a thriving profession as well.
It would be easier to ask which countries prostitution is it illegal in, that would be a very short list, with mainly the U.S. where consenting adult sexual rights are denied.
Prostitution is LEGAL (with some restrictions that aren't that bad) in Canada, most all of Europe including England, France, Wales, Denmark, etc., most of South America including most of Mexico (often in special zones), Israel (Tel Aviv known as the brothel capital of the world), Australia, and many other countries. It is either legal or very tolerated in most all of Asia and even Iran has "temporary wives" which can be for only a few hours! New Zealand passed in 2003 one of the most comprehensive decriminalization acts which even made street hookers legal which is causing many concerns.
