"Fact is, Sarge, she... er, caught me snickering her nolly last month. Hell's bells, Sarge, she's got a punch on her like a mule! When I came round, we got to talking, and she said a keen young lad like me could be useful as, like, an ear on the street."

With each property Steve Wynn develops on the Las Vegas Strip, his vision for the ultimate megaresort-casino becomes more sophisticated. Wynn Las Vegas opened in May 2005, and did so without whumping volcanoes, jets of water undulating to Frank Sinatra tunes, or pirate versus siren skirmishes.

"When you watch them struggle with a question, knowing that you have the information that could easily resolve their dilemma; when you see them come very near the truth and then for lack of your information retreat from their correct conclusions and return to error - you would not be human if it didn't cause you great anguish.

 

You must remind yourself, always: It is their law, their choice. They are the ones who built the wall between themselves and the truth, and they would only punish us if we let them know how easily and thoroughly that wall has been breached."

They are, in decending order of theoretical heritability: "fails to conform to social norms," "aggressive," "reckless," "impulsive," "fails to honor financial obligations," "incosistant work," "never monoganous," and "lacks remorse." Still other studies have found that sociopaths have low "agreeableness," low "conscientiouness," and low "harm avoidance," all of which personality dimensions have a genetic conponent.
