ON THE BOULEVARD: A visit from Russian judges, a tasty honor for Goodman

RUSSIAN JUDGES: Legendary U.S. District Judge Lloyd George recently played the gracious host to a group of members of the Russian judiciary. The visiting judges observed the local court systems, took in a newspaper editorial board, and still made time to go shopping and see the Strip.

As for the differences in the legal systems, Judge George offered, "I wish I could say we’ve improved as much as they have."

HER HONOR: Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman has officially arrived. She has a plaque next to her husband’s on the wall of the Goodman Booth at the Omelet House at 2160 W. West Charleston Blvd. For breakfasting locals, that’s more impressive than a star on the Walk of Fame.

HARPER’S BIZARRE: Las Vegan Bryce Harper, the Washington National’s 19-year-old phenom, received resounding boos from the crowd at Dodger Stadium in his Major League debut last weekend. He then proceeded to display his remarkable athletic ability at the highest level of the game.

With results like that, let the jeers continue. Keep on booing him, and the kid might make the All-Star team.
