Scarfo jury picks set for today PHILADELPHIA Jury selection begins todav for re puted mob boss Nicodemo “Little Nicky" Scarfo on charges of masterminding a multimillion-dollar methamphetamine operation with connections across America and in Europe. Four Scarfo associates face similar charges in a trial that authorities hope will end by Christmas. Selection of the 12 jurors and four alternates is expected to take most of this week. They will be sequestered meaning thev will stay overnight in a hotel while not in court - until the trial is over. Prosecutors had wanted jurors identities kept secret so neither they, nor their families, would face concern about mob contacts or pressures. But U.S. District Judge Thomas O’Neill denied the request, contending sequestration would provide sufficient protec tion. On trial with Scarfo will be Salvatore "Chickie" Merlino of Margate, N.J.; Philip Leonetti of Atlantic City, N.J.; and Francis "Faffy" lannerella and Charles “Charles White" lannece, both of Philadelphia.

Ewing heir surfaces in Boston BOSTON (AP) He wasn’t nearly as rich as his television namesake, but there was a real J.R. Ewing. And now, seven years after the real J.R. Ewing died in a squalid rooming house in Houston, his son has discovered that he is heir to his father’s $150,000 estate. A pleased and somewhat stunned Charles Ewing said it has been more than three decades since he last saw his father, coincidentally named the same as the tycoon oilman of the TV show Dallas J R Ewing had abandoned his family. After the elder Ewing's death, an attorney was appointed to find his heirs but he said he was unable to find Ewing despite an exhaustive search. On Saturday a friend of Ewing told him an article in The Boston Globe described the search for a Charles Ewing who had lived in East Boston. Ewing, who said he would never have read the paper otherwise, called the attorney. Ewing, 51, a painter and wallpaper hanger, was stunned not only by the news that he was $150,000 richer but also that his father had died. Man offers 'dollars for virgins' NEW YORK (AP) A millionaire who says he’s alarmed by high teen-age pregnancy rates has offered high school girls in three New York City boroughs $l,OOO to remain virgins through age 19, a newspaper reported last week. I read that 40,000 girls under the age of 15 have gotten pregnant in the United States. That’s a tragic story,” John Napoleon LaCorte told the Daily News. Boys do not want to marry sexually experienced women, said LaCorte, a 78-year-old retired insurance salesman from Brooklyn. "The Mediterraneans the Greeks, the Spanish, the Italians say the best gift a girl can give her husband is virginity,” he said. LaCorte established a $lOO,OOO endowment to fund the program for high school girls in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. To qualify, girls have to write to LaCorte to say thev want to qualify and submit to a medical test at age 19. Boys, he said, could not be covered under the program because “it's very difficult to test young boys to determine if they are virgins.
