...Tell me about it," says Lillian E., a retired city employee who heard the same hustle when the casinos came to town 20 years ago. Today, Bryant's neighborhood is the last stable, middle-class, mostly black area in all of boom-or-bust Atlantic City. Bryant says she's not against new casinos, she's against uprooting good neighborhoods so outsiders can pretend they're in Shangri-La. "Steve Wynn must have something good on these people. The state is bickering about having to pay $200 million for public education by an order of the Supreme Court, but they...

...quit the case and thinking about giving up law practice altogether. Traylor interviewed Jones at great length, he says, but he does not recall her ever telling him about the most explosive piece of evidence--the "distinguishing characteristics" she allegedly saw on Clinton's genital area. The first Traylor heard of them was when he read a draft complaint by co-counsels Joseph Cammarata and Gilbert Davis nearly four months after Jones had hired him. Traylor also says that witness Pamela Blackard, who saw Jones after she returned from Clinton's suite, originally gave him a far less dramatic account...
