...rise, on top, or tobogganing toward his destiny, Tony is always the same: a ruthless, fearless, utterly amoral slug. Insert him in the chamber of a .45 and he will blast off into your enemies. Cross him and cross yourself; he will perform your last rites just for fun. His swaggering sense of invulnerability first earns him a role as gorilla soldier in the army of Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia), a car and drug dealer. In the class structure of Sunbelt crime, Frank is the middle-class middle man, tangling fatally with both the coke aristocracy of Bolivia and Tony...
LITTLE SUCH PRAISE can be heaped on New York's "Fearless 4," whose new song "Something New" perhaps shows the hazards of taking rap into the corporate swamp. (They were signed by Elektra/Asylum.)

Guests who prefer water to air can join the château's six-person "gourmet barge," which costs $6,000 a week to charter...
Most folks in their right mind wouldn't dream of taking a dip in New York City's fermenting East River, unless they were first shoehorned into a pair of cement loafers by a tall guy named Vito. But in a fearless act of her own volition, Julie Ridge, 26, did the unthinkable last week and plunged into the river's murky depths. Some 21 hours and 56 miles later, she was plucked out of the water, the first person ever to swim around Manhattan Island twice. An out-of-work Broadway actress who appeared...
