(Bush's lawyers have taken that to federal appeals court in Atlanta, and it probably won't stop there.) And Bush had the curt statement of Harris, who is turning into his personal Janet Reno, to lean on. Harris held a 9:30 p.m. press conference to declare that she had duly considered the three counties' appeal to have their manual counts included in the official tally, and had found them decidedly wanting.

While the spread varied with each game, one factor was constant--the pivotal role Nevada played in executing the scheme. After Pendergast raised money in Chicago, he wired it to Irving in Reno. For the Penn State game, Irving bet $4,400 with the sports book at the Reno Hilton. When Penn State, a 14-point favorite, won by 30 points, Irving collected the group's winnings and wired an initial $6,000 payment to Pendergast, who gave Lee $4,000 in cash as his share...
