...where it was set and filmed. Among the players were Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy on The Sopranos) as the mob boss Johnny Friendly and Jason Cerbone (Jackie Aprile, Jr., also a Sopranos alumni) in the Brando role. The 55-year-old script still had the fresh stench of local corruption. Hoboken's new mayor, Peter Cammarano, had recently been arrested in the sweeping federal indictment of Jersey politicians; he would resign two days after the reading. A part of Schulberg must have been pleased at this latest criminal evidence of the society he kept exposing but never glorified...
...with some schools opening this month, a few decisions must be made. If the virus does not mutate into something more deadly, federal officials will urge local schools to stay open unless so many children or staffers are sick that teaching becomes difficult.

The coup was so successful that it worked again 20 years later when Jackson's Stasi file, and the infamous pictures, emerged. This time SAT 1 nearly fell for its own prank. "We certainly would have fallen...

During the court hearing, local newspapers reported, the man remained seated throughout the proceedings, not rising for the judge or for questioning, explaining through his lawyer that he would stand only before his God. On Wednesday, Aug. 5, four more men were charged. At their hearing, one reportedly responded by saying, "You send troops to Iraq to kill innocent people ... You call me a terrorist. I never killed a person in my life. Your army kills innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel takes...
