...Invalidated, 6 to 3, an Illinois statute that freed the American
Express Co. (because it is "a worldwide enterprise of unquestioned
solvency and high financial standing") from the requirement that

...some among them hope that a day would come when handsome, dark-eyed Mayor Pietro Nucera might forget himself and take them by violence. In the harsh code of justice on the slopes of Aspromonte, the Harsh Mountains in the toe of Italy's boot, the act of rape is often the precursor of enforced marriage, and the young mayor with his flashing eye and dark, curly hair had all the earmarks of a guappo-a dashing and romantic figure...

Father Nicola renounces the traditional vengeance, but there is more violence, including 'castration and murder, before...
