...know is Charlie's wife) to kill Charlie, with whom he has a jealous rivalry. Don Prizzi tells his godson that he wants him to take over the family.

...space of four days last week, the country's best and worst golfers were positively identified, although for a time at the U.S. Open it appeared that the two might be the same person.

Yet, by the peculiar dynamic of politics, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has become the point man for the most ambitious attempt ever at overhauling the loophole-laden tax code. "The reform hat I am wearing is not yet comfortable," Rostenkowski cheerfully confessed...
