Galente is believed to have assisted another New York mobster, Anthony ("Tony Ducks") Corallo to regain control of one New York family by helping Corallo arrange the murder last month of its chief, Andimo Pappadio. Now, according to a Mafia insider, Galente will stop at nothing to take power: "If everybody don't get in line, there's gonna be a lot of heads rolling. Lillo's gonna wipe up the streets with a few people that didn't bow down to him when he come out of the joint [prison] or didn...
...carefully programmed knockabout farce, The Ritz has been adapted with only slight modification from Terrence McNally's Broadway hit. The insanity centers around a small-time Italian businessman named Gaetano Proclo (Jack Weston). On the run from a mobster brother-in-law, Gaetano lies low in what he considers a suitably obscure hideout. The place even has a reassuringly classy name-the Ritz. Gaetano is from Cleveland, so he can be forgiven his naiveté about the Manhattan demimonde. He suspects all is not well, however, when the Ritz turns out to be an elaborate bathhouse patronized exclusively...
...bomb attached by magnets to the bottom of a car. The driver brutally maimed after the electronic triggering mechanism was set off by remote control. The hit man far from the scene.

Police detectives in New Jersey could hardly believe their ears. A mobster hit man named Joseph Rodriguez was spilling detail after gory detail about the 1972 slaying of Mafia Boss Emmanuel ("Nello") Cammarata. Rodriguez, 32, fearful that a contract was out for his own head, hoped for police protection by implicating himself and a New Jersey father and son in the killing. Rodriguez described with professional precision how the son, deftly disguised as a jogger, took aim at Cammarata as he was walking away from a North Miami bistro and drilled him with eight rounds from a .30-cal. carbine...
...irreverent MN2 mix, serious news is usually engulfed by the fanciful. Stripper Fanne Fox once delivered the weather report; Disc Jockey Wolfman Jack analyzed the New Hampshire primary results; Actress Terry Moore submitted to a polygraph test about shipboard sex with Howard Hughes. Porn Queen Amber Hunt and Mobster Mickey Cohen both graced one of last week's shows with filmed interviews, she on what thrills, he on forged wills. The zest of MetroNews comes from the ham and hard-boiled-egg match-up of extrovert Anchor Man Charles Rowe, 37, and Reporter-Inquisitor Charles Ashman, 40. A bionic...
