Despite smooth election, GOP leaders seek vote restrictions

ATLANTA – Changes to the way millions of Americans voted this year contributed to record turnout, but that's no guarantee the measures making it easier to cast ballots will stick around for future elections.Republicans in key states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden already are pushing for new restrictions, especially to absentee voting.

Trump made lasting impact on federal courts

WASHINGTON – On this, even President Donald Trump's most fevered critics agree: he has left a deep imprint on the federal courts that will outlast his one term in office for decades to come.He used the promise of conservative judicial appointments to win over Republican skeptics as a candidate.

No cafes, no tourists: Virus empties streets of old Athens

ATHENS – It’s been a while since visitors to Greece sought out souvenirs in Athens’ oldest neighborhood.The winding streets of Plaka, laid out long before the city imported a grid system, are lined with closed stores behind aluminum shutters. The coronavirus pandemic has kept tourists away from the historic city center that forms a semi-circle around the Acropolis, and the area remained unusually devoid of pedestrians and motorists before Christmas.In their absence, ancient monuments are a little easier to make out from a distance, fewer horns are sounding in traffic and homeless cats parked in front of cafes are a little less aloof.Greece so far has imposed two nationwide lockdowns since the start of the pandemic.
