...family; Anthony (Tony Ducks) Corallo, 73, don of the Lucchese clan; and Carmine (Junior) Persico, 53, head of the Colombo family. Persico, who acted as his own defense attorney, received a separate 39-year sentence last week for an earlier racketeering conviction; his top aide, Colombo Underboss Gennaro (Gerry Lang) Langella, 47, was convicted in the commission case and sentenced to 65 years in the earlier one. A fourth crime family, the Bonannos, was hit by the conviction of one of its captains, Anthony (Bruno) Indelicato, 30. The jury found that Indelicato had been one of the gunmen...
