What occurred was a remarkable tale of triumphs and bungles, of Brooklyn consiglieri and Milan Mafiosi, of chases along New York City's Fifth Avenue and gun-toting criminals tailing intelligence agents along Italian autostrade. So secret was the operation that not even U.S. Ambassador to Italy Maxwell Rabb was aware of it until TIME Correspondent Jonathan Beaty, accompanied by Rome Correspondent Barry Kalb, questioned the diplomat two weeks ago.

...money more than some pusher. Sometimes they actively bust heads because they think it works as a deterrent, and sometimes they just ignore everything they see, waiting for the pension 20 years will bring them. Often the job, with its endless contradictions, proves too much. As Ciello points out, Mafiosi never commit suicide, while cops kill themselves in droves...
