...what he said, he'd whack them. And if he even thought you were an informant, he'd have you killed." Colgan managed to persuade Ray Wean--a Bonanno man so huge that when Colgan once arrested him, he couldn't get the cuffs around Wean's thick wrists--to be an undercover informant and later testify for the prosecution at Massino's '87 trial. "Wean was a psychopath. He would've killed you and not batted an eye. But he was terrified of Joey...
...like a painting, or at least a good one, Soth's photographs have layered meanings. At first glance his picture of Sugar's, a place in Davenport, Iowa, appears to show a room where everything--the upholstered chair, the thick synthetic pile of the carpet, the strident green walls--reaches toward some misconstrued and imperfectly realized ideal of home.

The community of class ring owners—which recently includes roughly every other graduate—shares little more than thick wallets and an appreciation for materialism...
David Byrne’s voice is unmistakable. Despite the thick layers of strings and intricate pop sensibilities on his new solo album, his voice immediately recalls the geeky, smart angularity of the Talking Heads. But without the quirkily quibbling guitars—lavish orchestral arrangements in their place—Byrne’s new solo album Grown Backwards is worlds away from the music of the Heads...
