"I don't approve of gambling personally," says Art Bernard, who was Nevada State Prison warden until last spring. "But I am a great believer in facing facts. Making it legitimate for the prisoners gives you a control over it that you wouldn't have otherwise. It gives them something to do; if they have to walk the yard when they are not working, they...
...managed to pass himself as a military surgeon, a psychology professor, a college dean, a cancer researcher, an assistant prison warden and a Trappist monk (TIME, June 29), acting seemed a logical career.

It was the same in Los Angeles, 350 miles to the southeast. At a rocket test site, an engineer could barely wait for the blast of an Atlas engine to subside before asking...
...Capone $1,000 for a round of soft drinks. But in 1931 the Feds closed down her "Country Club" on 58th Street, caught buxom Belle as she tried to skedaddle across the roofscape in red pajamas, and saw her sentenced to 30 days in a Harlem jail, where the warden thoughtfully put her in the prostitutes' ward "because he thought I would be more comfortable there...
