That's no joke, but the federal courtroom dissolved in guffaws when the clerk read a deposition from Witness Barry Goldwater, who figured in the case because a key underworld figure claimed acquaintance with him. He had never heard of alleged Mafioso James Fratianno, said the Senator, but the man's photo looked familiar. "In fact, he looks a little like Agnew...
