Streisand's half-sister Rosalind Kind served as maid of honor in the ceremony conducted by Rabbi Leonard Bierman. Streisand's swimming pool was filled with white orchids, her favorite flower...
...prosecutors, Arlacchi helped create a program to arrest hundreds of top Mafiosi and imprison them on a remote island off the coast. They failed in an attempt to kill him with a bomb planted in a tollbooth on the autostrada. These days when Arlacchi cruises in the Mediterranean on his 40-ft. sailboat, the Italian navy often sends a cutter as an escort...
