Before them paraded a motley collection of sullen ex-Communists, pudgy labor pariahs and Vitalis-smooth lawyers. Unlike Mobster Frank ("Hands") Costello, this year's gallery was relentlessly exposed to the viewing public under an unprecedented ruling by Senator McClellan denying "uncooperative" witnesses the privilege of remaining off camera...
...through the Ohio River Valley, crashed lustily through western Pennsylvania and New York and jaded out in Canada. But in Cameron the bodies were still being stacked in the ice house, with about 350 dead in the area and uncounted others floating out to sea in Audrey's sullen...
