In states such as Arkansas and Florida, consumers pay nominal fees to join the lists, and companies pay a few dollars for copies. "It's duplicative, and it's expensive," argues Stephen Altobelli, spokesman for the Direct Marketing Association, says of the state lists.

Through assiduous upward social mobility, he has risen from his birthplace on Mulberry Street in Manhattan's Little Italy to become Hud's unwelcome neighbor. Gaetano's goodly impulse is to detox Hud: "You don't have to die." But Hud sees it as an intrusion of Wop on Wasp. He hurls endless ethnic slurs at Gaetano. To salvage Hud, Gaetano takes these insults with infinite good grace and gets enough snappers back to make the evening something of a celebrity roast. In the slugfest...
