Among the week's other witnesses was Edward Levinson, a Las Vegas casino operator and Baker pal, who refused to answer some 60 questions. While waiting to testify, Levinson was handed a subpoena ordering him to produce his financial records in Las Vegas next week in a tax case involving Baker. Thus, even as the Rules Committee's low-octane investigation seemed about to run out of gas, Bobby's troubles were beginning to heat...
...with a wedge of pie in the sky-a farm the two brothers will buy and work. But Zach, a man of profound instinctual sanity, is slow to sublimate. "I'm sick of talking, man, I want a woman," he says.

...Finger Man. Lippy Jean-Paul Belmondo, who first made crime pay as a pint-size Bogart in Breathless, now proves himself a magnum Cagney who can rough up a moll in vintage Chicago style. When Jean-Paul wants blonde Thérèse to rat on a pal, he slugs her, ties her wrists to her ankles, loops a belt around her neck and lashes it to a radiator pipe, gags her, decants a bottle of Haig & Haig over her while she's down, slugs her again. "Now sweetheart, baby, act sensibly," he coos. So she does. Later...
