...records, is that he benefited from no-show employment at Olympia & York, the construction giant owned by Toronto's Reichmann brothers. A spokesman for O&Y confirms that Cirillo was employed as a "laborer" for eight months in 1986 at the site of the World Financial Center in Manhattan but was "laid off for lack of work." Cirillo is far from unemployed, crime fighters contend, since Gigante may be bogged down in court for some time. As Cirillo's friends down at the fish market would say, if they were talking: the underworld may soon be his oyster...
...Friday markets generally steadied as traders and investors began to suspect that the earlier nose dive had been an overreaction: nothing so absolutely awful had happened yet. In Manhattan the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 49 points to a close of 2532.92 -- still down 112 points, or 4.2%, for the week and more than 460 points, or 16%, below its July 16 high of just under 3000.

...Broadway hit The Heidi Chronicles. Each day he gets up at 7:15 a.m. If it is not a matinee day, Stout spends the next ten hours with his two-year-old son, playing and running errands. At 5:15 he leaves his suburban home to catch a Manhattan- bound train, allowing ample time to meet his 7:30 call at the Plymouth Theater. On the nights that Stout does not appear onstage, he heads for home at 9:40, after the second act is safely under way. When he walks through his front door...
...important and who's in charge. Often the struggle for answers plays out in tussles over house chores. Women frequently -- and justifiably -- complain that most of the drudge work falls to them. The view from the male side, however, can be revealing. Ellen Galinsky, who as co-president of Manhattan's Families and Work Institute often attends corporate seminars, says that when women complain that their mates don't help, the men seethe. "The men say, 'Every time I help, she tells me I'm doing it wrong. I quit. I'm not interested in being criticized all the time...
