April 14, 2014
HOT PROPERTY
For Chinese men there's no status symbol like a mistress—or four. In some cities, China's highly paid concubines live together in neighborhoods known as "ernaicun" where they can socialize with the only women that understand them: other mistresses. Brendon Hong investigates the towns and the mini-economies that feed off the women's avarice.
BAD WORDS
After Frazier Glenn Miller allegedly killed three people outside two Jewish centers in Kansas on Sunday, he yelled "Heil Hitler!" This outburst should reminds us that violence—and even genocide like the Holocaust—begins with words, writes Dr. Charles Asher Small. We must respond with our own words in the face of antisemitism.
UPPING THE ANTE
Memo to Moscow: stop messing with Ukraine, or else. With pro-Russian occupying towns in the country's east, the Obama administration is set to announce new, tougher sanctions on Russia tomorrow, Josh Rogin reports.
BAD HEALTH
Nine of 10 doctors discourage others from joining the profession, and 300 physicians commit suicide every year. Being a doctor, writes Daniela Drake, is a miserable and humiliating undertaking. How did it get so bad?
GETTING THERE

As anticipated, federal judge Timothy Black ruled Monday that Ohio authorities must recognize the marriages of gay couples performed in other states. Black said Ohio's current practice of denying marriage rights to same-sex couples constituted "ongoing arbitrary discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation." On the same day, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine certified that the Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom Amendment could proceed with revised language to overturn the state's 2004 same-sex marriage ban. That proposal wouldn't be on the ballot this year, though.
