...Davey, Joey and Dino sleep on the floor. Rose takes the couch. They have no phone; the bathtub leaks; the ceiling is splotched with water stains. Yet this is the best place they've ever had. For a month before this, Rose and the children lived in a car, and bathing was carried out in Rose's girlfriend's apartment. Compared with then, Rose says, the sky's the limit these days. The kids go to school regularly, and they take part in the Center for Family Life's after- school programs. Rose too gets help from the center, mostly...

She ; tried to kill herself one time by swallowing all my grandmother's asthma pills. My other sister tried to kill herself too. They had to clean...
...limousine, evidently on their way to a steak house. Three men waiting nearby pulled semiautomatic weapons from under their trench coats and cut them down. Castellano and Belotti each caught six bullets in the head and torso. As two of the gunmen ran down 46th Street toward a getaway car, the third spoke briefly into a walkie-talkie and then coolly fired a coup de grace into Castellano's skull. It took all of 30 seconds...
