...come here five years ago, not knowing any English. He had to borrow from a bank to buy his taxi medallion, but now the loan is almost paid off. He is over 50, and he has spent his life -- both here and there -- behind the wheel. He says, "The Russians are a good people, what fine people! But America is the best country in the world. It is not true that there is no work. You just have to want to find it, and they'll help you and there will be work. And there is such an abundance...
...channel the shrimper allows that he bought his 40-ft., all- cypress boat four years ago for $15,000, from a neighbor named Buddy Wannage.

In doing so, she painstakingly constructed against John Gotti and nine others a case involving loan sharking, gambling, hijacking and murder. Today, in an unembellished chamber at federal court in Brooklyn, Gotti and Giacalone sit across from each other, about the same distance apart as the width of 101st Avenue...
