The Morning Call, a Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, mainstream news media print publication, carried an April 3, 2008, column by Washington Post nationally syndicated columnist George Will titled “Gambling global appeal profits Venetian’s Adelson.”

This column is titled “The Mogul Who Bet on Vegas,” the mogul being Sheldon Adelson, the third richest man in America after Bill Gates and Warren Buffett and the owner of the Venetian casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Macao, Communist China, the latter being the largest casino in the world.

Adelson is also owner of the Sands BethWorks Gam(bl)ing LLC casino proposed for the South Side neighborhood of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in the 100-year flood plain of the Lehigh River and scheduled to open in 2009, in anticipation of and intended to influence Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial election of 2010.
