We found an interesting article in the Financial Times. It's called \"Harvard Law`s poker panacea\".<\/p>

The article deals with a thesis from a Harvard professor who said: \"As far as I'm concerned, it would be a better world if we all played poker.<\/b>\" Here is an excerpt from the article:<\/p>

\"Harvard Law school thinks it has found the solution to many of society's problems, from teenage delinquency to world diplomatic crises: a hand of poker. <\/em>Charles Nesson, a Harvard Law school professor, will next week unveil a plan to set up \"global poker strategic thinking societies\" at universities around the world, including Harvard, Yale and Oxford, when he attends a conference on virtual worlds and cyberspace in Singapore....\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>
