Harry stays on, too obstinate and too desperate to admit defeat. Archie and Gus return to the States, back to their families, their jobs, their listless lives. When the cab from the airport drops them off, they stand in their neighboring driveways, sharing a moment of mute terror. Finally, one finds words: "What's he going to do without us?" They stare silently at each other for a moment more. Then they go home...
Government Bonds. The Marseille mob did not lavish its loot on the usual frills. They invested it in 4% to 51% government bonds, which the police found in last week's raids, prompted by tips from police informers.

Preparing to catch an evening flight to Washington, Moynihan sat in the back of a Yellow Cab and speculated about the next academic semester.

One-third of the class is nonwhite, the biggest group of black and Puerto Rican freshmen in the U.S. The 9,000 include former laborers and domestics, cab drivers, carpenters and the sons and daughters of blue-collar workers. Many are the first in their families to enter college. They are awed-but all business. "These are the original American revolutionaries," says C.U.N.Y. Vice Chancellor Timothy Healy. "They want a piece of the action...
