The story of the 1961 Wire Act and how Robert Kennedy's crusade against the Mob is creating a new generation of Internet gaming outlaws. The U.S. has invoked the Act in a vain effort to control gambling within its borders, at a time when online sports betting is soaring in popularity. By placing the Wire Act into the larger context of American ambivalence about gambling, Schwartz has produced a provocative analysis of a national habit and the vexing predicaments it creates.
