...York about Masselli's Mob connections and his operations. With this information, the New York agents on Jan. 4,1979, got a court order to bug conversations and tap telephones at Masselli's meat-packing warehouse in The Bronx. Over six months this produced 892 tape recordings. The mobsters talked about Jo-Pel, the Frascone murder and Democratic officials in New York City and Albany who, they claimed, were corrupt. Donovan was mentioned in various contexts at least six times. The references to Donovan were mostly casual or vague. At one point, Mobster Masselli claimed to "get along...

Kodak's new 5-lb. 8-mm camcorder is designed to make filming of home movies easier. Another major advantage of the new models is a worldwide standardized format that will enable them to use any 8-mm tape; half-inch systems are not standardized. Kodavision sells for $1,600 to $2,600, depending on accessories, compared with $1,500 to $1,800 for those camcorders that use the wider tape...
