...brother the Catholic priest and ex-jailbird, and a pack of rats who talk about whacking nicknamed brethren like it's some kind of citywide croquet tournament. But it's O.K. if you can't get into the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, which sold out when Salvatore ("Sammy the Bull") Gravano came out of hiding and sang baritone last week. The show spills onto the streets of Greenwich Village, where a woman in a sun hat looks up at the high-rise where reputed Mob boss Vincent ("the Chin") Gigante, the Oddfather who roamed the streets in his bathrobe...

The lunch was breakfast, the room nonsmoking and nonhissing, and a third of the audience was women...
...points of the game to win, 78-73. The win evens the best-of-seven NBA finals at two games apiece. More important for the Jazz, who should have won the first game in Chicago as well, it establishes that this year's Chicago team is not the 'Invinci-Bull' squad that roared through the playoffs last year. The Bulls get their chance to re-establish that dominance in game 5, Wednesday night...
