...chic-to-be-mayorly wardrobe, also had been junketing to New York at the expense of lobbyists as well as soliciting city-government appointees to buy $10 tickets to his annual birthday parties. Federal authorities and listeners were equally appalled; Miriani, now a city councilman, is awaiting trial to account for $250,000 in unreported "gift" income...

While Recluse Hughes remained in his suite in Las Vegas' Desert Inn, which he bought last March, Frank was doing his best to tear down another recent Hughes acquisition, the Sands Hotel.
