In 1977, I was appointed chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. It was a difficult time for the gaming industry and Las Vegas, which were being overrun by organized crime. To that point in my life, I had served in the Nevada Assembly and even as lieutenant governor, but nothing prepared me for my fight with the mob.
Over the next few years, there would be threats on my life, bribes, FBI stings and even a car bomb placed in my family’s station wagon. It was a (…)

AMAZING AMNESIA. How sweet the white privilege. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ’’Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Right on time for the King holiday, America is elevating yet another man to lifetime power on the claim of sincere ignorance of his association with racism and sexism.
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was repeatedly asked in this week’s hearings about his membership in the Concerned Alumni (…)

For over 40 years, MIT professor Noam Chomsky has been one of the world’s leading intellectual critics of U.S. foreign policy. Today, with America’s latest imperial adventure in trouble both politically and militarily, Chomsky — who turned 77 last month — vows not to slow down "as long as I’m ambulatory." I spoke (…)

Bush—not in hushed whispers but openly, in newspapers, on the Internet, in ordinary conversations and even in Congress.

I can still remember the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach during those (…)

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran on Monday banned CNN journalists from working in the country after the broadcaster misquoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying Iran wanted nuclear weapons, the ISNA students news agency said.
CNN’s simultaneous translation of Ahmadinejad’s lengthy news conference on Saturday included the phrase "the use of nuclear weapons is Iran’s right."
In fact, what the Iranian president said was that "Iran has the right to nuclear energy," the official IRNA news agency (…)

When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with one Roman legion he broke the tradition that protected the civilian government from victorious generals and launched the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Fearing that Caesar would become a king, the Senate assassinated him. From the civil wars that followed, Caesar’s grand nephew, Octavian, emerged as the first Roman emperor, Caesar (…)
