...middle-management toughie who, like Tony Soprano, is in the waste-disposal business (the Camorra holds a monopoly in this industry); and two punks who quote the Pacino Scarface and think they've hit the jackpot when they stumble on a weapons stash. ("Let's rack up corpses," one says. "No use feeling depressed.") Above these scarred, drugged-out creatures are their bosses, wealthy mobsters who are still middle management in the giant organization. And to the side, but never out of firing range, nonviolent types like the master tailor who, to make some extra money, agrees to tutor seamstresses...
...regular-season FLW tournaments (the first one starts Feb. 12 on Lake Guntersville in Huntsville, Ala.), players pick 10 anglers from the 155 pros who enter each tourney, in the order they believe the fishermen will finish. The better your picks do, the more points you rack up. And there's a hefty bonus for an exacta--if your pick for first or second or third, etc., matches the tournament rankings.

But as Pakistan and the world outside go to rack and ruin, all these register as noises off - if at all - in the consciousness of Butterfly, saturated as it is with frequently misspelled brand names ("La Prarry ki face cream and Landscomb ka mascara"), manic socializing and "GTs" (get-togethers...
They are oversized, under-shaven and badly mannered. Their outfits and body armor are off-the-rack (of a bad masquerade store). Their solicitations are proffered in barks and grunts. And if you get close enough without paying for the experience they might just bite your head off. For those who have visited the ancient Coliseum in recent years, you have probably run into these would-be modern-day Roman gladiators, or more precisely, they have run into you. Last I checked, they were demanding 20 euros to pose next to them for a photograph outside the Coliseum, holding...
