...small fortune on Wall Street by selling municipal bonds to doctors and dentists. They pay in cash from earnings they have not reported to the Internal Revenue, and there is no record of the bond purchases because they are so-called bearer bonds and therefore do not carry the name of the owner. Gambling casinos are surging in part because they are convenient places to spend cash. Says Albert W. Merck, a member of New Jersey's casino control commission: "A casino fills a fascinating function in an economy where there is a lot of unrecorded money...
...announcing politically controversial decisions before an election in order to save Chief Justice Rose Bird from being ousted by the voters; so far the inquiry has shown less evidence of conspiracy than pettiness and distrust among the court's seven justices.

Music blared from every corner of the Yard, while huge groups of drunken men huddled and leered at women going from party to party. I got asked the big four questions--name, school, career plans, SAT scores--so often I could recite them in seconds (although I refused, as a matter of principle, to talk scores).
