Regardless, I feel like I should probably do what a competent reporter would do to an unscrutinized belief--scrutinize it. So I call the casino and soon I'm talking to Savero Mancini, a man I've got to assume is not one of the tribal elders. Before I can get to my questions, he's unloading facts on me left and right: 170,000 square feet; 2,600 slots, etc. Then he starts into more peculiar terrain.

From Henry Mancini's jazzy music for Peter Gunn through LPs for such '60s hits as Batman and Mission Impossible, TV sound tracks have been largely curiosities.
