...packed like subway straphangers, is so worried about falling attendance that it has shelled out $150,000 to restore the old allure. Where Murder Inc. once made lethal lead pay big dividends, the two-bit Gallo and Profaci mobs cannot even afford to fix the cops. Tough Tony Anastasio, the stevedore Caesar who ruled the waterfront for a generation before he died in 1963, has been succeeded by a Ciceronic son-in-law, Brooklyn College Graduate Anthony-never Tony-Scotto...
With such backers as F. Ruben Batista, son of the former Cuban dictator, General Anastasio Somoza Jr., army chief in Nicaragua, Huntington Hartford and Realtor Paul Tishman, El Tiempo takes a more conservative political line than El Diario, which is so ardently Democratic that it would not identify a prominent local Republican when he appeared in a picture...
...drawn to union careers for ideological reasons often quit in frustration. There are, of course, some exceptions. The boss of a big Longshoremen's local in Brooklyn is college-trained Anthony Scotto, 30. He is a special case: he was hand-picked by the late Tony Anastasio, who happened to be his father-in-law.

Charged with everything up to and including murder but never convicted, Tough Tony gained the grudging respect of dock employers as well as union men by getting the work done and increasing pay, fringe benefits and job opportunities...
After 26 years of firm Somoza family rule, Nicaragua had someone with a different name at the head of its government last week. In much-heralded "free elections," Luis Somoza, 40, and Anastasio ("Tachito") Somoza Jr., 38, the two brothers who took over the small Central American country in 1956 after the assassination of their father, stuck to their promise that no Somoza would appear on the ballot. But the boys will have a friend in the palace. Elected President by a landslide was former Foreign Minister René Schick, 53, hand-picked choice of the Somozas' Nationalist Liberal...
