...also be the Disney World of the 21st century. Scrubbed (or at least whitewashed) of its reputation as a Mob town infatuated with scuzzy strippers and sleazy comics, Las Vegas today is a leading family-resort destination, with theme parks, water parks and high-tech arcades in nearly every new hotel. And where families go, wholesome entertainment follows. That's one reason the Flamingo Hilton, the house that gangster Bugsy Siegel built, hired the Rockettes, whose high kicking and higher kitsch remind us that their brand of dance is as much a part of 20th century culture as anything choreographed...

Giulio Andreotti, a seven-time Italian premier and reputed crime-fighter, was indicted for allegedly consorting with the mafia over a lifetime. The 76-year-old Andreotti, Italy's leading postwar statesman, is the highest Italian official ever to be tried on mob charges. "It's really a tremendous charge," says TIME Rome correspondent Greg Burke. "They're claiming that he was a full-fledged member of the mafia.
