Mafia Hot Line. Detective fiction has it that the .22-cal. pistol with its tiny one-ounce slug is a gnat swatter, at its worst a woman's weapon snatched from a purse to dispatch an errant lover. No self-respecting all-pro killer would carry one. The facts, however, are otherwise. The CIA has long preferred the .22.

But during his rookie year, Branch studied his teammate's hands as if they were the Rosetta Stone, and the result is the surest-catching fast man in football.

They were celebrities among their friends-"I never get tired of people asking me questions," Cassisi claims-and had departed with other dividends besides their salary (an average of $250 weekly for the leads, although all-pro Foster collected more). Scott Baio once saw Glenda Jackson and actually met Richard Chamberlain. "These England people, they were very gentle," John's mother Mafalda Cassisi remembers fondly. Jenkins, who is back now riding his skateboard down Harlem streets, recalls touring Buckingham Palace and learning that "Queen wouldn...
