Governor Paterson last week called for a vote on the gay marriage bill in the state Senate on Tuesday. However, on Tuesday, as legislators counted potential yes and no votes — and some anxiously weighed the at heaven’s gate consequences of their vote on the hot-button issue — reports were the bill would not be brought up for a vote. But later Tuesday evening, Paterson, Empire State Pride Agenda’s director Alan Van Capelle and four Senate leaders, BY JERRY TALLMER of newspaperman are you?” including Tom Duane and Eric Schneiderman, pledged there would be a vote before the end of this year.

Strickler was a member of Congregation Beth Simchat Torah, a master mason of the St. Cecile Lodge, on W. 23rd St. at Sixth Ave., and a founder of BABA, the 12-block association that includes Bank and Bethune Sts. and Abingdon Square.

P. 28 Appendix III: Future Research…. …………….………………… P. 29 2 ITALIAN AMERICAN CRIME FIGHTERS: A BRIEF SURVEY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This report was inspired by three recent events in the U.S. entertainment industry: • The popularity of the HBO television mafia soap opera, The Sopranos • The PBS public television documentary and Website, The Medicis: Godfathers of the Renaissance • Steven Spielberg's children's gangster film Shark Tale These and countless other films and television shows for decades, all portray characters of Italian heritage as criminals. The result of such stereotyping is the belief strongly imbedded in the public's mind that Italian Americans are criminally inclined. In a poll of American adults, conducted by the Princeton-based Response Analysis, Inc. several years ago, 74% said they believed most Italian Americans have some association with organized crime. This perception is at odds with the facts: • The U. S. Department of Justice estimates that 5,000 people of all races and ethnic backgrounds are in organized crime today. Even if all 5,000 were Italian American, that would constitute .0025 or one- quarter of one percent of today's 16 million Italian Americans, the nation's fifth largest ethnic group.* *In the U.S.
