...boss strutted through the courtroom, snapping out orders to subservient henchmen, reveling in his new and lethally acquired notoriety. John Gotti, 45, romanticized in New York City's tabloids as the "Dapper Don" for his tailored $1,800 suits and carefully coiffed hair, has been locked in prison without bail since May, only a few months after he allegedly took control of the Gambino gang following the murder of the previous boss, Paul Castellano...

Many Western countries, therefore, fear that if they do impose sanctions on South Africa, they will have to bail out the black nations struck by South African reprisals. The U.S. has already made it clear to the frontline states that it cannot compensate them for their possible losses. Britain, whose ties with southern Africa are even closer, has been still firmer. When Zimbabwean Prime Minister Robert Mugabe called for South African sanctions at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting last October, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher replied with a stern and stinging warning.
