...rubouts, which Hynes likens to a "B movie," began with Henry Smurra, a middle-aged Colombo soldier who was shot in the head on the night of Nov. 24 while sitting in his red Lincoln Continental outside a Dunkin' Donuts shop. One Colombo associate, Vincent Fusaro, received season's greetings in the form of a bullet to his head as he hung a Christmas garland on the door of his Brooklyn home. Another wiseguy, a 79-year-old bookie, was blown away in broad daylight while playing cards at a social club; his 47-year-old girlfriend managed to walk...
...member Genovese family remains the richest, most powerful and least damaged crime group. Experts believe Vincent (Chin) Gigante is still the boss, even though last March a court found him mentally unfit to stand trial.

One of the most comical aspects of the play is the presence of Okonkwo, Lejoka-Brown's sidekick, played by Eliott Fan. His acting is competent but his character seems...
...Vincent O'Neill's performance in Joyicity defies the term monologue. He plays more than 40 Joycean characters, interspersed with renditions of the author himself. For long-time Joyce fans, his impersonations will stir up recollections of the devilishly spirited "Gracehopper" in Finnegan's Wake and the roaring Citizen in Ulysses. But even for the uninitiated, O'Neill makes Joyce accessible...
