...always felt that the horror genre was one in which you could do extreme, intense things that maybe would be a little hard to take if it weren't for the genre protecting you - like a viral coating, but the DNA inside is very potent. [The Fly] was a story that if you did it straight, would never get made. Because it's basically: two eccentric but beautiful people meet each other, fall in love, one of them gets a hideous wasting disease, the other watches and eventually helps him commit suicide - end of story. It's like, hey, high...
...success has come at the expense of his father, who has lost a large chunk of his high-roller business to Melco Crown and others this year. Ho says his mentor has remained supportive. "He's been great," Ho says. "Even when we weren't doing so well, he did give us advice. It's almost like the two of us have formed our own little casino association.

McCain's GOP colleagues have not always appreciated his moral crusading or his suggestions that any disagreement with "St. John" about soft-money rules was somehow tantamount to corruption. "He was so condescending. If you weren't with him, you were obviously wrong," Smith says. And McCain sometimes approached debate the way he approached boxing as a midshipman, throwing wild haymakers until someone went down. He has offended the clubby Senate with his sailor's mouth, cursing at Pete Domenici of New Mexico over pork, John Cornyn of Texas over immigration and even the Mormon Orrin Hatch of Utah over...
