...lean, hook-nosed Coppolino, 34, was caught up by the patient, plodding groundwork laid by Prosecutor Frank Schaub, 45. In contrast with the flamboyant forensics of F.

Junior, however, does not have Sis's smoky sex appeal. With her lemur eyes, her pouty lips and luxuriant swirls of streaked blonde hair, she comes on like Mata Hari in a miniskirt...
