...black securities analyst who, though sexy and rich, hasn't had a date in months. Tired of waiting for a black prince to materialize in a paid-for Lexus, she flies to Jamaica on vacation, meets Winston Shakespeare, a tall, bashful 20-year-old assistant cook at her resort hotel, falls in love, and brings him back home as a live-in souvenir. "It's a dubious sort of good luck that the publication of her slightest and fluffiest novel has brought McMillan her greatest reward," says TIME's John Skow.

Grey announces, pointing to the Rev. James Richter. Richter has seen two recent suicides and several bankruptcies due to gambling. "A lot of roads have gotten paved," he says. "Personally, I'd rather have a few more potholes and a few more lives intact...
...Local restaurants are often squeezed out by cheap in-house casino eateries. Atlantic City, New Jersey, lost about a third of its retail businesses after casinos moved in and former customers gambled away their discretionary dollars. In South Dakota, when slot machines were legalized to revive the Black Hills resort of Deadwood, the three car dealerships, the hardware store, the clothing shop and the local Taco Bell all converted into mini-casinos--a more lucrative business, gutting the town's retail base...
