The same ruling applies to bm"n raffles, even in cases where charitable "are the only beneficiaries, and when they are held“ either in compliance with local laws or at least with the full knowledge and, sometimes, active cooperation of local law enforcement agencies. The Enquirer, of course, will comply wit h the law, but we think these are pretty silly regulations—par- ticularly those which apply to the publication of news after an event is concluded.
