...YOUR FACE. For sheer audacity, it's hard to beat the shared vision of a Florida developer and an Oklahoma Indian tribe to build a casino in Kansas. The developer is Alan Ginsburg, who heads North American Sports Management (Noram), which has already cut casino development deals with tribes in five states. The tribe is the 3,900-member Wyandotte tribe of Oklahoma, which has a reservation in the state's northeast corner. Oklahoma prohibits Las Vegas--style casinos, and that is why the Wyandottes want a satellite reservation in Kansas, which does permit big-time gaming...
...Dick Cheney, a friend from their days together in the trenches of the Ford Administration, who lured Paul O'Neill from the executive suite at Alcoa and persuaded him to become George W. Bush's Treasury Secretary. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan loved the choice, the Vice President boasted in private two Decembers ago--and surely what made Greenspan happy would tickle the markets too.

The hard-partying novelist turns out to be a thoughtful and feisty essayist, if a bit of a name-dropper. There's too much "my friend Alan Yentob" and "I recently asked Vaclav Havel" in these articles, letters and speeches. And some shouldn't be here at all - including, truth be told, a moldy piece on independent India's 50th anniversary that I edited for this magazine. But he's brilliant on the real message...
...took the mic. While West delivered tight rhymes about “shaking yo’ ass” and “the plight of the underclass,” Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield ’53 and Frankfurter Professor of Law Alan M. Dershowitz engaged Porter University Professor Helen H. Vendler in a freak sandwich. “I give all my ladies D’s,” said Mansfield, bending his knees to align pelvises with Vendler. “Deez nutz...
