...children. How more saccharine than a sweet tooth they are. Pity the poor darlings. All they do is beam and fawn on Mama. Exempt the tiniest tot, Tara Kennedy, 7, who puts on a sizzling display of stagewise expertise in a song-and-dance duo with George S. Irving. A born hamster, she's good enough to wake up the audience. So is Irving.

...plans for an Australian casino ("They're the gamblingest fools in the world down there," says Dyer) and "Harrah's World," a Disney-like entertainment-gambling complex west of Reno. But the company's aversion to debt and its insistence on rigid controls over the tiniest details of its business mean Harrah's will probably not diversify very fast. The odds are heavy against its opening a casino in New Jersey any time soon...
