the people that the house always wins. But the ancient Chinese
practice is a national addiction there. Of course, while gambling is

from musicians who've run for office to musicians who keep a keen eye
on politics to voters and fans who are almost as skeptical about
musicians' motives as are about politicians'. Global Village, with Jowi
Taylor, tonight at 8 (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
