...victims over the past 3˝ years have been police informants and potential prosecution witnesses. But most have been mobsters. Among those killed were Sam Giancana, who abdicated as the Outfit's leader in 1965, and Richard Cain, an ex-cop who served as a top aide to Giancana. The latest to die was top Triggerman Charles (Chuck) Nicoletti, 62, an Accardo protégé. He caught three .38-cal. slugs in the head on March 29 while sitting in his blue Oldsmobile sedan outside the Golden Horns Restaurant in suburban Northlake.

The new version says straightforwardly that Adam and Eve "had intercourse...
...play runs a gamut of themes from murder to lust to alienation and old age. Eve succumbs to the serpent's temptation in the Garden and bequeaths petty, disillusioned existences to her 20th-century daughters. Cain's allegedly unwitting murder of his brother is juxtaposed against the assassination of a president, presumably Kennedy, and of Martin Luther King, Jr., while the American public, embodied in a hysterical chorus, shirks all blame for the killings. Society is rather tritely compared to a flock of lemmings, and four women bewail the discontinuity of modern life as they clench and splay their fingers...
