...become inured to grim box scores: the number of people killed, injured and arrested, the dollars lost from looting and arson. Recently, however, there has been a shift toward a different pattern of violence. The old-style, spontaneous and omnidirectional ghetto riots-such as those in Watts, Detroit and Newark-have been declining since 1967. Instead, city after city has seen a series of small-scale, sometimes premeditated and often fatal armed clashes. "Race-related disorders," reports Brandeis University's Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence, rose from...
...among three Mafia hoodlums in their hangout. The subject of the session: methods of dispatching associates to a better world. This and other candid peeps at organized crime became available last week when a 2,000-page transcript of FBI tape recordings was filed in Federal District Court in Newark, N.J. The tapes were presented by the district attorney in connection with extortion-conspiracy charges against Simone Rizzo ("Sam the Plumber") De-Cavalcante, a New Jersey Mafia leader. The FBI had bugged four mob hangouts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including the office of DeCavalcante's Kenilworth, N.J., plumbing...

...ease the skyjam, the Federal Aviation Administration this week will begin limiting the number of takeoffs and landings during peak periods at five of the busiest U.S. airports. The five: Chicago's O'Hare, New York's John F. Kennedy and La Guardia, Newark and Washington's National. During the crush from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at J.F.K., for example, the number of flights will be held to 90 per hour, 20 fewer than the highs of last summer, when two-hour delays were common...
Upcoming municipal elections should help to prevent violence in some cities, particularly where blacks hold or seek high office. Newark Negroes, sensing an opportunity to gain control of the city government in next May's elections, have reason for restraint; they wish to do nothing to help Anthony Imperiale, who bases his candidacy on white fear of the Negroes. Blacks in Cleveland are likely to reunite behind Negro Mayor Carl Stokes, who is up for re-election this fall. The mayoral campaign of Negro City Councilman Tom Bradley in Los Angeles has helped to rally that city...
