...creosote bushes, massive monuments to hedonism. Inside their carpeted, clockless confines, nothing seems real: time stands still, and $100 is just a black gambling chip. This Las Vegas is a jet-age Sodom, a venal demimonde in which the greatest compliment that can be paid a man is to say that he has "juice" (influence in the right places). The city is the ultimate affront to taste...
...Nixon was coming. In essence, the Washington explanation seemed to boil down to: 1) he was asked, and 2) why not?

...thing that alarms me is that there are so many clergymen who say that the so-called "new morality" is all right. They say we're living in a new generation; let's be relevant, let's change God's law. Let's say that adultery is all right under certain circumstances; fornication's all right under certain circumstances. If it's "meaningful...
