...Niro about a boy who gets mixed up with the Mob. Why is the word Bronx--as in Bronx Bombers, as in New York Yankees, as in Evil Empire--displayed prominently at the Yanks' crosstown rival? It turns out that Minaya, who grew up a fly ball from Shea Stadium in Queens rooting for the Mets, loves the movie for a line that captures his own unlikely ascension: De Niro, who plays a bus driver, barks at his Mob-bedazzled son, "The workingman is the tough...

Then for Michael's 70th birthday, his daughters Anne, 36, a commercial pilot, and Bernadette, 37, a fund raiser, offered to take him on a trip Down Under funded by all the sisters. "My father never asked anything for himself," Bernadette says. "He was giddy for the next six weeks, watching audiotapes and reading books." Driving from place to place, often without hotel...
