This morning he has just pocketed $900 million from the sale of a Macau gaming subconcession. A few days earlier, he opened the Wynn Macau hotel-casino with a barrage of fireworks and dancing fountains.

Kean Jr. is being watched intensely, as is Rhode Island Republican Lincoln D. Chafee’s effort to keep his Senate seat in a race against Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse after narrowly winning his party’s primary.
