...average price for a Manhattan condo or co-op broke the $1 million mark, a new record. Norma's, a midtown restaurant, introduced a $1,000 omelet. (Hardly anyone ate it, but it hearkened back to the '90s in an oddly comforting way.) And the tourists returned, God bless them...

In one late 2001 note, a photocopy of which was obtained by Time, Provenzano finalizes an underling's repayment of a small debt and then signs off with: "God bless and protect you!" Since Provenzano disappeared 40 years ago, the trail has been thin indeed.

But law-enforcement officials have no personal belongings or telephone recordings...
