China scholarship is nothing if not passionate. One feud at Yale in the early 1960s involved husband-wife Historians Arthur and Mary Wright and Political Scientist David Rowe. The Yale Daily News had a field day describing the "Rowe-Wright row." Rowe, a staunch defender of Chiang Kaishek, attacked the Wrights, who backed a more pragmatic policy toward Peking, for being too far left...
...feud simmered until 1957, when Genovese decided that Costello had to be executed. According to Valachi, he dispatched Vincente ("The Chin") Gigante, an enormous ex-prizefighter, to do the job. At 11 o'clock on the night of May 2, 1957, Costello arrived by cab at his apartment building on Central Park West. As he strode through the lobby, Gigante said, "This is for you, Frank," and fired one shot as Costello wheeled around.

The union boss's forced withdrawal from pension affairs was the latest development in a tangled feud between union factions that has led to many lawsuits. Although the miners' grievance was with the courts, they followed...

Then he qualified the offer, saying that any investigation would have to be limited to the congressional phone-tapping charge, rather than become a wide-ranging look at the FBI that could jeopardize its mission and sources.* As the feud progressed, Boggs, too, did some retrenching, admitting that Mitchell might be "technically correct" about the absence of taps. But he continued to insist that the FBI had Congressmen under "surveillance"-perhaps using other electronic devices to monitor their offices. Boggs further blunted his attack by the specious argument that whatever...
