And you think Oscar Goodman was mad at Bob Herbert of The New York Times? Now the Arizona Republic, in an editorial Thursday, admonished, "Grow up, Las Vegas." Strong language follows: "The issue here is not whether Vegas should keep lowering the bar on decency just so the rest of the nation can stop in for an occasional naughty, anonymous weekend. Nor is this about whether the so-called sex industry is really just another career opportunity for today's modern woman. (It's not.) This is about who we are." And this: "This is not about empowered women. This is not dark corners where evil breeds in secret." And this finishing line: "What happens in Las Vegas doesn't stay there. It contaminates us all." Goodman better get out his bat again.
