Featuring such characters as "Don L'Anmarie" and "Fanny L. Hall," "Whiskey Business" is "a musical drag show based on the in's and out's of mob violence in the '20's," Corcillo said last night...
...always looked sensational on the track. In the 1984 Olympic trials she glistened in shimmering bodysuits, earning the nickname "Fluorescent Flo." In the Los Angeles Games, in which she won a silver medal in the 200 meters, she flaunted 6-in. fingernails, which didn't cause any apparent wind drag.

After all, the Los Angeles court system is clogged with 150,000 new civil cases a year.
