...familiar figure in Miami's upholstered nightclubs and casinos. He changed his name to Patton, although he was known around town as "George the Greek."

...Miami, the Knight-owned Herald (circ. 186,166) and the Cox-owned Daily News (circ. 88,223) take turns denouncing gamblers and racketeers who do a reputed $100-million-a-year business in Dade County. Most Miamians ignore the periodic newspaper crusades; they seem to feel that the gamblers are only giving well-heeled tourists the fling they want...
