Organised crime got whacked by the feds last week, in the biggest single operation against the Mafia in fbi history. No fewer than 127 alleged mobsters were charged with a litany of crimes, including murder and narcotics-trafficking as well as bread-and-butter mob crimes like gambling, racketeering and extortion. New York's borgatas, or "families" (the Genovese, Gambino, Colombo and Lucchese), New Jersey's Decavalcante family and one in New England were all hit. Some 800 federal, state and local police in several states and in Italy took part in dawn arrests.
