...lives in the "Archie Bunker" district, so called because it includes the streets lined with stucco houses that are shown at the beginning of All in the Family. The mostly working-class district is populated by Irish, Italians and Germans, along with pockets of blacks. Last spring Ferraro, 43, quit her job as an assistant district attorney, hired a campaign manager and opened her headquarters. Says she: "I wasn't going to run this campaign over a kitchen table." To help finance her race for the seat vacated after 32 years by the retirement of Democrat James Delaney, she dipped...

Such problems have not been encountered by Golden Nugget Inc., of Las Vegas, which proposes building a new $75 million high-rise casino-hotel on the site of an old stucco motel. Golden Nugget's hard-driving president, Stephen Wynn, last month slipped into the motel wearing sandals and a T shirt. When the owner quoted an $8.5 million selling price, Wynn replied: "I'll give you a million now and the rest in 24 hours." Wynn told reporters that the owner was so surprised "he almost dropped dead." Also scrambling to open casinos are Playboy Enterprises, which...
