With a Ph.D. in economics, Loveman knows how to use data to learn more than anybody else about his customers. Instead of catering to big spenders, he has focused Harrah's on the small-time, frequent gamblers who come to play the slots at his many riverboat and Indian casinos around the U.S. He's betting that he can draw many of those people to his newly acquired properties on the Strip. Loveman still commutes to Vegas from Boston, and he doesn't care much for gambling himself. But, as he put it recently, "I love what I'm doing...
...Democrat. On the occasion of Reagan's death, it was refreshing to witness the divisive labels dropped for a common descriptor: American. As a Canadian, I was moved by the displays of Americans' patriotism - men and women placing hands over hearts as the coffin passed by and the frequent singing of national songs.

Those qualities may come in handy on his new talk show, McEnroe, which debuts this Wednesday on CNBC at 10 p.m. E.T. He talked with TIME's Bill Saporito...
It’s just that I think many people here have two faces. Behind the joking about visas and good spirited banter in broken Arabic, I detect envy and little hope for the future. The manager at a pizza shop I frequent bemoans his abundance of education (a masters degree) as worthless, considering he makes $500 per month and still can’t get a British, Canadian or American visa. The guy at the crepe place is saving up his money to try to bribe a poor American girl into marrying him for six months...
