...hotel fit their demographic. (Wynn will also be unthemed, as will the Palazzo.) "I wanted to make sure I cultivated young Hollywood," says George Maloof, 40, the brother who runs the hotel. "In the '70s, '80s and most of the '90s, Hollywood didn't really come to Las Vegas except for a big fight. Now it's every weekend." Maloof made the Palms a hipster draw by housing the 2002 edition of MTV's Real World in the hotel, a move the rest of Vegas thought was suicide (having cameras inside a hotel was believed to be like asking...
...Minnesota we're sluts, but in Vegas this is a respectable job to the locals," says Sami, 33, a Sapphire stripper known as the Fire Bitch because she can light on fire a surprising number of her body parts.

Journalism is a high-risk profession in Russia. Twenty-one reporters - all, except Klebnikov, Russian citizens - have been killed in the line of duty since 2000, including two so far this year, according to the Paris-based press group Reporters Without Borders. Contract killings in Russia are rarely solved. Judging from his political writings, Klebnikov believed such outrages were a thing...
...Those kicked out included truck drivers, medics, radio operators and combat engineers--the same kinds of soldiers the Pentagon is now seeking. SLDN, a gay advocacy group, says it got the breakdown from a military source it would not identify. An Army spokesman declined to comment on the numbers except to say the service is merely carrying out the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, which allows the service to discharge soldiers who reveal they...
