...violent themes continue with “Royale,” a James Bond-inspired formal. In keeping with their strong reputation for sophistication and intimidation, Lev residents will turn the Old Library in McKinlock Hall into an elegant dance space with a hint of casino flair. International intrigue and/or your roommate’s awful attempt at a British accent guaranteed...
...encourage the state legislature to pass DeLeo’s bill and hasten the construction of the two resort-style casinos and four race-track slot machine banks for which it calls.

If a casino restaurant can do sushi like that, why can't everybody? And we diners have to do our part by refusing to order wild bluefin or even making our peace with a farmed tuna, if one ever make its way to the fish market...
