We Shall Overcome... With Blackjack

Las Vegas casinos have pumped millions into an effort to legalize gambling in Nebraska.

They've also brought in Katharine Spilde, an "expert" who says that casinos provide well-paying jobs and career opportunities that many other employers can't match.

Since Spilde is a fellow with the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, we can only assume that Harvard has a somewhat avant-garde view on what constitutes "development."

What does the Harvard Project on African-American Development advocate? Legalizing the sale of crack?
