James Swain Funny Money

For Margaret and Charles Swain

My father always told me

never to bet on anything

but Notre Dame and the Yankees.


But for anyone not willing to

take my father’s advice,

I now declare this casino open.

— Governor Brendan Byrne

at the opening of Caesars

Palace, Atlantic City

May 26, 1978
