After a three month pause, a grand jury resumed its investigation yesterday into wealthy businessman, and owner of the Mount Airy Casino Resort, Louis A. DeNaples.

DeNaples' brother Eugene, a former state gambling investigator, showed up at the proceedings yesterday.
New Jersey Transit's River LINE reached a grim milestone on Friday when it experienced its first fatal accident in its short history. A 50-year-old man, who was coming from a bar, was struck and killed when he returned to the tracks after the crossing barriers went down and he didn't respond to the train horn.

Tom Knox is the frontrunner in the 2007 Democratic primary and, according to the most recent Keystone poll, the one with the momentum behind him. But like so many other things about him, Knox’s accomplishment is less impressive than it first appears. Relying on nothing more than a wealth of contacts in city and state government, a nationally known campaign team (his media guru was profiled in The New Republic, under the headline “Joe Trippi Reinvents Campaigning”), and more money than God and his opponents put together, his campaign managed to overcome a name recognition deficit by flooding the local airwaves with ads. No doubt this was a risky strategy—how could they be sure that Philadelphians would spend time watching television?
