One such deadbeat, Ferriola declared, was Leonard Yaras, the North Side betting boss. "Yaras has to go," Ferriola said. "He's putting our money in his pocket."

Robert Maiorano's book, written with Valerie Brooks, is an attempt to organize and explain those fabulous coins. A former soloist at City Ballet, Maiorano watched Mozartiana (1981), the choreographer's last substantial work, take shape in the rehearsal studio. As an effort to analyze creation, the book is not really successful. Maiorano cannot bring steps to life in words; nor are there photo sequences, such as the ones in Ashley...
