...familiar Mafia lore that has become commonplace knowledge through movies and fiction is essentially true. All the made men are bound by a loyalty oath of blood and fire. They are divided into regimes, or squads, under the command of caporegimes, or lieutenants, who in turn take their orders from the clan's dons. Years ago, the don was both a prince of crime and social arbiter among Italians in his territory. But the breakup of the old Italian neighborhoods has stripped away his social functions?and any romanticism that might have surrounded him. Today he is no more than...
...staid Boston, Saint Laurent's revealing, sleeveless corselettes have been selling like $140 hotcakes at his Saks Fifth Avenue and Bonwit Teller outlets. Camisoles are just as popular.

In that capacity, it should fuel cocktail-party and water-cooler discussion for months, as workers try to classify their bosses-and themselves-according to Maccoby's types...

Kong is a primal dream work, a symbolization of some deep and basic special anxiety of the species-and the only one created directly for the movies, having no ready roots in literature or folk lore. The crudities, the enigma of the original Kong's expression, are part of that work's strength. The wowing Technicolor virtuosity of the remake reduces the tale's mythic resonances and turns it into a safe PG entertainment. It may be that though the legend of Kong works...
