ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's beleaguered government is bracing for a 48-hour strike as lawmakers debate a new round of reforms designed to win the country additional rescue loans and avoid bankruptcy.

More than 5,000 police will guard Athens' city center Tuesday, with union protest rallies due to start at 10:00 a.m. The strike is set to disrupt or halt most public services, with doctors, ambulance drivers, journalists and even actors at a state-funded theatre joining the protest, which is to continue Wednesday.

CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich, who served two terms as Illinois governor, was convicted Monday of a wide range of corruption charges, including the allegation that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's Senate seat.

The verdict was a bitter defeat for Blagojevich, who had spent years professing his innocence on reality TV shows and later on the witness stand. His defense team had insisted that hours of FBI wiretap recordings were just the ramblings of a politician who liked to think out loud.
