...cancer patients who fly to Mexico for the latest miracle cure, many pet owners take the alternative route because they have nowhere else to turn. "By the time they come to me, the choices are pretty much either try alternative medicine or put the animal to sleep," says Susan Wynn, a veterinarian in Atlanta. Wynn, like all other licensed vets, was thoroughly grounded in Western medicine before she turned to unconventional treatments. Some owners seek alternative pet care because they use it for themselves. Other humans have even started taking their pets' medicine. Glucosamine and chondroiton sulfate, two compounds that...
...when you look into the eyes of Sailor, a buff-colored nine-year-old Persian mix, you want to believe. Three years ago, Sailor suffered from asthma and diabetes. Heavy-duty drugs had sapped her strength, and conventional vets recommended euthanasia. When her owner, Carley Alderman, brought her to Wynn's office, Sailor could hardly move. Wynn confirmed the diagnosis, then changed Sailor's treatment to a series of homeopathic pellets. The cat rallied. "She runs up and down the stairs," Alderman marvels.

Bryant says she's not against new casinos, she's against uprooting good neighborhoods so outsiders can pretend they're in Shangri-La. "Steve Wynn must have something good on these people. The state is bickering about having to pay $200 million for public education by an order of the Supreme Court, but they'll spend $300 million to build a private driveway for a billionaire...
...fact, Wynn would pay $55 million of the projected $330 million cost of the 1.8-mile roadway. Wynn spokesman Alan Feldman, who shamelessly wonders if the holdout residents are trying to bluff more money out of Mirage, says the project will provide road improvements that were planned years ago and will make the neighborhood a better place. Mayor Whelan insists that other roadway routes would have displaced even more homeowners. He's sorry about Bryant Drive, but if Atlantic City doesn't take this next step--"Not just another casino, but an 'Oh, wow!' destination resort"--it will...
