Steve Cannane's brilliant 4 Corners expose of Australia's gambling reform hiatus highlighted imminent collapse of sport without gambling $$$. Exact same line used by BigTobacco when they fought as bans. Guess what? All sport survived & grew. 25 years ago!

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

My god.

β€œWatson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”
