Guy McAfee opened the The Clover Club in 1931. He was a one time LAPD policman in vice. Just like you see in some old comedy movies, the Clover club really had false walls that revolved to conceal gambling equipment and the tabletops for craps and roulette games could be flipped over during raids.

The Clover Club was a target for city and county gambling and vice squads and was closed and reopened a number of times. In 1938, when "Law abiding citizens" started demading reform in Los Angeles, McAfee moved to Las Vegas where he operated a series of casinos quite legally. The Clover Club remained open under new management until 1944.

At different points both Marcel LaMaze and Nathan Sherry owned it until it became the Club Seville and then Ciros .

Nola Hahn, Farmer Page and Eddie Nealis were partners in the Clover Club on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The Clover Club was gambling night club. Even though gambling was illegal, many Hollywood stars and Los Angeles political big shots were members.In the late thirties Nola committed suicide, Farmer moved to Las Vegas and opened the Pioneer Club, and Eddie took over Caliente Race Track in Tijuana, Mexico, and later Rosarita Beach Hotel in Rosarita Beach, just south of Tijuana.

Guy McAfee didn't have the Clover Club. Guy was head of vice for the LAPD, and nobody could operate in L.A. without his okay.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
