...first they called it Operation Star Quest. But when a federal grand jury last week indicted alleged Mob Boss Carmine ("the Snake") Persico, 51, and ten other members of the Colombo clan, one of New York's five major Mafia families, federal agents triumphantly renamed their probe Star Struck. Those involved were said to control seven union locals in New York City's restaurant, trucking and construction businesses, extorting large payments from restaurateurs and contractors...
Some law-enforcement officials confessed to being puzzled by the sweeping announcement. The Colombo clan was all but eclipsed years ago by stronger rivals.Those familiar with the Mafia say that the true force behind the Colombo group was not Persico, but a onetime bank robber named John ("Sonny") Franzese, who was tapped by other Mafia bosses six years ago to help straighten out the inept clan. Franzese was not named in the indictment. Rudolph Giuliani, the U.S. Attorney in New York, told TIME, "We have a lot more to do." Indeed, Washington officials said an organized-crime strike force...
...first offensive play of the year, rest assured that things can change. Look for either White or Vecchi to start things off, with senior Greg Kouvelas waiting in the wings for his chance at steering the much-heralded Multiflex.

...success of running back Steve Ernst. Ernst started the year as a wingback, then moved around in Restic's midseason, injury-forced backfield reshuffling. In the Dartmouth game. Ernst shifted to halfback in place of the injured Mark Vignali. Jim Fadule started at wingback to replace Ernst, and Chuck Colombo took the first snap from center because sophomore Brian White developed a blood clot in his arm the Thursday before the game. Starting fullback Robert Santiago didn't play because of a hamstring pull; several players tried unsuccessfully to fill his shoes...
