He was in town from Hollywood where 8½, one of the 150 movies he has produced on the side, won two Academy Awards, and his New York branch threw a do. Mostly no capisc Americans made the scene until Christina Austin, 34, Italy's current reigning beauty (Manhattan division) appeared, and he greeted her with a heartfelt hand buss. Since...

Once too often the hapless Salvatore had passed by the Giurlando farmhouse, and Nina had fired four fatal bullets into his body. "Do you repent of what you have done?" she was asked by the authorities. "Why should I repent?" she cried. "I was dishonored."
