Binoculars & a Bus. These quotes, startling from an executive of Chicago's tight-lipped underworld, made lively front-page reading in the Chicago Tribune last week. They could have been reaped only by the Trib's Sandy Smith, who knows the mob's pecking order better than most hoods, and far better than any other police reporter in town...
