Tony Burkel, a 41-year-old turkey rancher from Greenbush, Minn., and a professional driver for the U.S.'s Polaris Industries Inc., which makes the Polaris snowmobile, was among the first drivers to arrive in Fairbanks, but he got lost in the dense ice fog. Officials at the finish line, who could hear his machine growling aimlessly around the side streets, finally sent out a runner to try to guide him home with a flare.

Instead, The Brotherhood concentrates on the microcosmic death struggles of a single Mafioso family. Frank Ginetta (Kirk Douglas) is the son of a deceased "soldier" of Murder Inc. days. Like his father, Frank still kills in the same old way, ordering a stool pigeon shot in a New Jersey dump, then stuffing his mouth with a symbolic canary. But Frank's college-educated brother Vince (Alex Cord) has acquired new credit cards of identity...
