...Government also moved on another front last week. The day before Addonizio went to court, another federal grand jury handed up indictments against Mafia Kingpin Simone Rizzo ("Sam the Plumber") De Cavalcante and 54 others. Charged with operating an interstate numbers game that grossed $20 million a year, all face penalties of $10,000 and five years' imprisonment. Four, including De Cavalcante's "chief of staff," Alessio Barrasso, face additional fines of $10,000 or 20-year sentences for extortion...

...generation gap. In the hands of Clive, even the philosophical jargon of youth becomes a powerful weapon. "The Turks like things broken and helpless. Destruction is a form of possession," he observes in an Iago-like attempt to dominate the inquisitive colonel. "War is the great sexual game. You could say that castration is the goal. And enemies are always, in a sense, lovers. They experience an interesting comradeship in their fear. And the true soldiers-the real killer-is always glad to have an object to murder. He wants to put his training to work and mate with...
