I am quite critical of Brian Ross below

but I will admit that I learned something from him today.

Alleged "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey has given an exclusive interview to ABC News.

[snip]

he women signed contracts agreeing not to engage in illegal activity, including having sex for money, Palfrey says, and were given guidelines on the difference between legal and illegal sexual behavior. At least one woman, Dr. Paula Neble, is known to have told federal prosecutors that she had sex for money while working for Palfrey. Palfrey is suing her for breach of contract.

did I read that correctly. A Dr. worked for Palfrey ! Bet Dr. Neble has a PhD just like me.
