Reluctant to lose a valued informant, or to have their relationship documented at a trial, many FBI men would like to see the case quietly dropped. Officials of the Justice Department's organized crime strike force, which is already presenting to the grand jury information turned up by the Labor Department, argue that Presser turned informer precisely to divert possible prosecution...
...figures that the Justice Department plans to announce this week seemed so surprising that even its own statisticians were skeptical. According to the latest National Crime Survey, the number of personal robberies (muggings and holdups) fell by 18% last year. Checks and rechecks of the figures collected from interviewing 128,000 people in 86,179 households indicated no error...

The second scene takes place in a Little Italy tenement where Rigoletto has secreted his daughter, Gilda, and where she is wooed by the Duke, who sports a high school warmup jacket. The finale is set in a seedy, Hopperesque waterfront dive. When the Duke sings his famous La donna e mobile aria, in English, he first...
