...have found their way back to the Administration. When asked to comment, Administration aides tend to smile thinly and change the subject. After all, they philosophize, if Begin can take the long historical view, so can they. Only in the other direction, forward to some time when an Israeli Premier may be less of an ideologue...
...regular Las Vegas contact, John Roselli, failed to collect the money, the dons ordered Roselli killed; he was asphyxiated in 1976 (Roselli gained notoriety in 1975 when he told a Senate committee that he and another mobster had been recruited by the CIA in the 1960s to assassinate Cuban Premier Fidel Castro).

Ever since Gucci set up an outpost several years ago, tony merchants have been rushing to Rodeo, until now there is no place left. If all that glitters on Rodeo is not gold, it is most certainly platinum, silver or the chrome plating on the bumpers of a typical shopper's Rolls-Royce. Los Angeles Bureau Chief William Rademaekers strolled down the drive and returned with this report...
