In Easter Orthodox Church marriage is a holy mystery, an eternal unbreakable bound formed by two people, who truly love each other. Through this love they achieve spiritual development - the main goal of marriage (as opposed to Catholics, who do this to swive and procreate). Popes achieve it though celibate, and some people through amour de soi ;-) Unfortunately, it's not possible to marry oneself. Or a cat.

The whole glamour of Las Vegas is nothing compared to the poorest Orthodox church - irrelevant Greek, Coptic or Serbian. It's like cheap gilt and old gold.

I never knew the old Las Vegas before the war with its Elvis music, its glamour and easy charm. Amsterdam suited me better De Vries werd gefinancierd door de Amerikaanse maffia, aangetrokken door het Nederlandse gedoogbeleid inzake seks en gokken. De Cabala werd gerund door de Cellini's, gokspecialisten uit de groep rond de legendarische Amerikaanse gangster Meyer Lansky. De Cellini's komen in de Godfather-films voor als de Penninobrothers.

The phrase "before the war" here is at best ambiguous. You mean the Vietnam war?

More amoral, not to confuse with amorous (unless you hooked up with the author), economics:
