...good chairman of a multimillion-dollar beverage company, Don Vultaggio knows that distribution is a key to success. But unlike most high-flying executives, Vultaggio, head of privately owned Ferolito, Vultaggio & Sons, maker of the popular Arizona brand of iced tea, will spend a Friday night on a forklift.

On Jan. 30, Robert, 33, a forklift driver and a father of two, was at a pub in Belfast when he got into an argument. It spilled into the street, where McCartney was stabbed and beaten to death by a gang that allegedly included I.R.A. members. The perpetrators cleaned the scene, removed closed-circuit television footage and intimidated witnesses, the sisters and police say. Some witnesses have come forward but have denied seeing the actual attack, and no one has been charged. "Seventy...
