Carmine (Junior) Persico, 53, is the balding, baggy-eyed showman of the trio. Elegant in a black pinstripe suit, a crisp white shirt and red tie, the accused Colombo crime boss is acting as his own attorney. "By now I guess you all know my name is Carmine Persico and I'm not a lawyer, I'm a defendant," he humbly told the jury in a thick Brooklyn accent. "Bear with...

...show business and in chic society, dinner guests were offered crisp white lines of cocaine along with their demitasse. Cute silver spoons began to adorn the jewelry of hip, rich women.
