...they laughed when STEVE WYNN brought Picasso and Matisse to his casino in Las Vegas. Was the guy nuts? High art in the high desert? But when Wynn, the chairman of Mirage Resorts Inc., rolls the dice, he usually wins. His tiny two-room gallery at the Bellagio hotel has lured more than 100,000 people since its opening in late October.

Sosa shined shoes as a kid to help pay for the two-room apartment he lived in with his widowed mom and six siblings in the Dominican Republic. When a major league representative saw him play, he thought Sosa was amazingly talented and a little malnourished. But since he became a professional ballplayer nine years ago, he has funneled money south. He has lavished three houses on his mother, bought businesses for his sisters, sent computers to schools, donated ambulances to hospitals, handed out so many...
