...retired Chicago don Sam Giancana, 66, was probably as much at ease one night last week as a man with his past could be. Just back from Houston and a gall-bladder operation, he had enjoyed a festive homecoming dinner in his fortress-like brick house in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park. His guests were the handful of people he could trust: one of his daughters and her husband; Charles ("Chuckie") English, his partner in myriad syndicate enterprises over the years; and his loyal courier-chauffeur, Dominick ("Butch") Blazi. No matter that lawmen had shadowed Giancana's every...
...clear, a pale oval with limpid blue eyes and the mien of a Corot model. Her simplicity suggests genius: a fleeting idea or nuance of feeling sets her trembling; she offers intimations of grand passions, great dreams and intense drama. Ever since she was a schoolgirl in the Paris suburb of Gennevilliers, people have wanted to make her a star.

But the book does not mince words about the American medical system, which tends to hinder rather than help hemophiliacs. The Massies' anger is understandable. American blood bankers, by and large, have done little to bring...
...tape. The Attorney General has used his "parole power" to ensure entry into the country of all Vietnamese who run a "high risk" of retaliation at the hands of the Communists. A similar provision has already enabled Cambodia's former President Lon Nol to settle in a comfortable suburb of Honolulu, where last week he was going through the process of obtaining a driver's license and a U.S. Social Security number...
