I believe the difference is would also be significant between a US victim of Chinese origin and a US caucasian victim. Taro

Amy, another case before this one with a more "reasonable" tab. LOL Taro FYI I have included a link to the docs filed with court in this case. BTW, I never go to strip clubs :) NYC exec sues strip club over huge tab Swiss Re division CFO denies running up $28,000 bill Updated: 3:33 p.m. ET May 20, 2004 NEW YORK - A New York insurance executive slapped an upscale strip club with a lawsuit after it charged him $28,000 for a night of champagne and partying with a dozen exotic dancers. Mitchell Blaser, who is the Chief Financial Officer of the Americas division of insurer Swiss Re, filed suit on Tuesday demanding that strip club Scores pay back the $28,000 because that does not accurately reflect his spending at the Manhattan nightspot. But a Scores spokesman said that, during his December visit, Blaser ordered five magnums of the club's most expensive champagne, a 1990 Krug Clos du Mesnil, for $3,200 each. He also spent $7,000 for lap dances and the company of 12 girls who surrounded him for hours. thesmokinggun.com

Most Americans lack confidence in leaders: poll Thu Oct 27,10:08 AM ET Seventy-three percent of Americans lack confidence in their leaders and a majority believe the country would be better off with more women in power, a survey showed on Tuesday. The survey by Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government and the U.S. News & World Report also showed that 66 percent of Americans believe the United States faces a leadership crisis. The release of the poll comes as President George W. Bush is struggling to stem a slide in popularity caused by the slow federal response to Hurricane Katrina, the Iraq war and soaring gasoline prices. The nationwide telephone survey of 1,374 adults, taken from September 13 to September 23, covered all levels of U.S. leaders -- from the White House to Congress and state and local governments. It showed that 65 percent of Americans are upbeat about the future of the country's leadership and expect better leaders in the future. The poll also showed that 64 percent believe the country would be better off if more women occupied leadership positions, and perhaps surprisingly more men than women believe this -- 69 percent to 61 percent. "It's a wake-up call to leaders who enter the public sector," said Todd Pittinsky, assistant professor of public policy at the Kennedy School. The poll had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.8 percent.
