West Side Manhattan Genovese mob, Carlo ("Don Carlo") Gambino, 64, heir to the late Albert Anastasia's operations, plus ten other bigwigs. The D.A. wanted them to sing before a grand jury on crime in Queens, and a judge set bail at $100,000 each to help clear their throats. No dice. A friendly bondsman put up $1,300,000 for bail, the grand jury got nothing but grunts, and then it was back to La Stella's for that delayed lunch: escarole in brodo, linguini in clam sauce, striped bass, and wine.

...Heir Huntington Hartford simply won't take no for an answer. For six years now he's been trying to give New York City $500,000 for an outdoor café in Central Park. And the city keeps bouncing his scheme. A couple of weeks ago, he even offered $1,000,000 to build public swimming pools in Negro areas if City Parks Commissioner Thomas Hoving would accept the café. "Irresponsible philanthropy!" roared Hoving. "Hartford is trying to manipulate potentially dangerous areas for his own end, but he has failed." With a rap like that, Hunt...
