...Richard Condon...
...Pole from Los Angeles who is semimarried to a Jew; she is also a freelance assassin who has shot one man for the Prizzis and, on the side, scammed them for $360 ($360? The other 000 is always omitted in family conversation, supposedly "to confuse the tourists"). Novelist Richard Condon's Prizzi family is not boroughs but planets distant from Mario Puzo's Corleones.

But Bill Duthie's squad, led by Ivy scoring champ Marg Degidio, could not convert on a 43-second, five-on-three advantage in the first extra period and numerous other changes in overtime...
