As the throngs finally dispersed, an elderly lady sighed with satisfaction. "Well," she said, "they certainly looked very glad to be home again, didn...

Frankie said he had overheard the columnist-Lee Mortimer of the New York Daily Mirror-refer to him as "that Dago son of a bitch." So he hit him in the jaw, once, and knocked him down. Mortimer said he was "just minding my own business"-leaving the place with an Oriental girl friend-when Frankie snuck up behind him and hit him back of the left ear. Then, said Mortimer, "at least two men" held him and he was slugged some more...
