...what makes Wynn interesting. He is on a mission to gentrify gambling in America, cleansing it of its associations with high life and low life while delivering it to a suburb near yours as the innocuous extension of the middle-class weekend outing. Wynn's gambling has neither neon, push-up bras nor black-tie croupiers from the French Riviera. In fact it is not even called gambling. "I'm in the recreation business," he insists...

Fashion is painful. Women suffer pinching, scratching, binding, twisting in the name of chic. Push-up bras give you the lush bosom of the '90s, but the underwire cuts into your rib cage. Panty hose are hot and, frankly, sweaty. High heels give your hips an alluring tilt, but after a 10-minute walk, your feet scream. Short skirts are young and kicky. But how young do you want to look when you can't sit comfortably...

Ireland's Simon Williams, who the day before had been doing a fingertip push-up to calculate a similar shot, anticipates that Cleland will attempt a triple peel and, incidentally, not stain his immaculate summer whites.

...miniseries progressed, the focus swung away from politics to the steamy sex scandal of Crane's relationship with Fallon and their tendency towards kinky sexual behavior. Favorite Son provided one of the most explicit sex scenes I've ever seen on television. It features Koslowski, clad in push-up bra and garter belt, perched on the bed as she tries to seduce the FBI agent investigating the case. She produces two ribbons from her bureau and ties them around her wrist, then raises her hand to the bedpost moaning, "Tie me up." Bad politics, it seems, has concomitant vices...

...tall and thin and leggy, but she walks with a knock-kneed self-conscious slouch. When she tries to be sexy, the worst of Valley Girl fashion comes out of the closet. Too much hairspray, too many jiggly bangles, plastic colorful earrings, a flairy mini-skirt and a push-up satin halter are the usual attire. All the sleazy guys at Frank's Hamburger Joint--which Connie and her friend prowl by night--think Connie is sexy, but even remembering what it was like to be 15, it's hard to understand why she'd want to hang out with...
