Excerpt from Can It Be True?, Vol. 2 of 2
By what irony of fortune is the worst den of iniquity in Europe placed in one of her loveliest spots? Why should the clear sky of Italy with its brilliant sun expand over the building wherein so much misery is daily caused? Wherefore should the azure waters of the Mediterranean lave that shore reddened with the blood of so many victims? More seemly it would be if the Casino were erected in a wilderness begirt by pestilential marshes, infested with vipers and beasts of prey.
