If it had not been for a plea bargain with mass murderer Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano in exchange for his testimony, Gotti would probably still be the "Teflon Don." If Kaczynski's brother had not gone to the FBI with incriminating evidence, the Unabomber suspect might still be living in his Montana cabin. ROBERT J. QUIRK Sarasota...
