How-ya-dooin'?

Chicago newspapers have been rife with stories about a scandal involving trucking companies, city workers and the mob. Sound familiar? The cast of characters reads like a rejected Mario Puzo novel. Among the names already in circulation are the following:

• John 'Quarters' Boyle
• Christy 'The Nose' Spina
• Joey 'The Clown' Lombardo
• Ronnie 'Little Pistol' Calicchaio

Tribune columnist John Kass calls it 'a how-ya-dooin' convention.
