...never had any lessons or any prior experience. So he mounted the horse unassisted, and the horse immediately sprang into action. As it galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, the captain began to slip from the saddle. In terror, he grabbed for the horse's mane, but he couldn't get a firm grip. He tried to throw his arms around the horse's neck, but he began to slide down the side of the horse anyway as his head was being battered against the ground and he was moments away from unconsciousness, to his great fortune...

That day, enveloped in a scarlet coat and insulated by his thick mane of hair, he looked cold - and the moptop has long since been supplanted by a close-cropped style that will afford zero protection against a wintry Liverpool night...
...same special "Catturando" police unit that nabbed Provenzano in the hills of Corleone found the Lo Piccolos, and several other top Mafia figures, in a pair of well-furnished houses near the town of Cinisi, just west of Palermo. The senior Lo Piccolo, sporting a leather jacket and a mane of white hair and beard, shared only a vague resemblance with the most recent composite sketch. On the premises, police found weapons, cash, fake identification and the tiny handwritten notes that Provenzano also utilized for communicating among mob bosses. Italian media report that the younger Lo Piccolo, who himself...
