Two decades ago, only a handful of women sought treatment for gambling addiction. Now the number has shot up into the millions. And not just in Las Vegas. In Oregon, casinos outside American Indian reservations are illegal. But Oregon's lottery operates video poker machines throughout the state, and they're featured prominently in a chain of popular delicatessens, where the setting might be brighter and less smoky than the stereotypical casino, but the stakes can be just as high. ABC's Jessica Yellin has the story of one woman who wagered it all, and lost it all.The incredible, edible Twinkie. What seems like a simple bit of yellow cake and vanilla filling is in fact the end product of a very complicated process. Though the secret of the Twinkie recipe is very closely guarded, a food writer who is a bit obsessed with the famous confection broke it down into 39 ingredients -- yes, 39. ABC's John Berman goes inside the Twinkie. Ever see someone cute pull up in the convertible next to you? The light changes, the person speeds off, and you never see each other again. Well, a new Web site works to ensure that that first fleeting meeting won't be your last. Anchor: Cynthia McFadden Airdate: May 3, 2007 |
