...sober married man (Raymond Pellegrin), but the other is a charming gio-vanotto (Jean Sorel) who soon falls in love with the niece. Disturbed, the stevedore at first makes fun of the newcomer, but the niece falls in love with the boy anyway. Desperate, the stevedore resorts to slander: "He marry you he gotta da right be American citizen." Indignantly, the girl decides to marry the boy. At that the stevedore's obsession, like an elephant in musth, snaps the fraying tether of human feeling that restrains his frenzy. He betrays the boy and his brother to the immigration...

...Mansion." Then Wagner began tossing out his own accusations: he charged both Gerosa and Levitt with responsibility for a deal that enabled the sponsors of a Queens housing project to make a windfall profit of $2,400,000. Understandably pained, Democrat Levitt accused Wagner of issuing a "vile, vicious slander." The mayor, he cried, was "unfit to hold public office." As for Republican Lefkowitz, who faces only token opposition in his party primary, he spent most of the week vacationing in Saratoga...
