...well be, but the evidence is not entirely conclusive. There are indications, besides, that federal authorities were making a concerted effort to get Galante's name into print.

Sales hit a one-day peak of 67,000 on the third day of the TV series; so far, about 750,000 copies have been sold (list price: $12.50).
