- NOT FOR GAMBLERS
-
- The U.S. Senate voted 88 to 5 last week to bar states from
- allowing gambling on professional and amateur sports events.
- Nevada, Delaware, Oregon, North Dakota and Montana already allow
- sports gambling. Other cash-strapped states have been itching
- to get into the lucrative trade. Senator Bill Bradley, a former
- college and professional basketball star, said, "This will
- preserve the opportunity for all young people who want to
- participate in sports to regard the game as theirs, not the
- gamblers'."
