...Vegans have almost religious awe for such entrepreneurs as Billionaire Hughes and Multimillionaire Kerkorian, a onetime used-plane salesman who now is the largest stockholder in Western Airlines. They are seen as saviors sent to rescue the town from its reputation as a haven for crooks. Nobody seems to know how much Mafia money is still invested in Vegas (estimates range from none at all, which is patently ridiculous, to upwards of $100 million), but Hughes and Kerkorian have indeed lent the town at least a patina of respectability. In Hughes' six casinos, for example, gaming operations are supervised...

But for Mrs. Bass the image is a true "sign from God." She believes now that it explains a mysterious "revelation" she had some 35 years ago, when, one day in prayer, she saw "hundreds...
...necessary and useful thing to have around as an adjunct to ordinary sex, and as an alternative to ordinary sex. I think it's a boon to the tired traveler -in a foreign country where he doesn't speak the language or doesn't know anybody. I think it's an absolute social necessity in the case of some people who are ugly and old and lonely, but that does not mean it should only be for the ugly, the old and the lonely. I do think that more good artists should enter the field...
