And his big sister Peg keeps yelling at him to stay away from Fat Vinny. But every time he thinks he's free, Vinny reels him back in... to the peeping Tom incident and the lost sneaker... to the two break-ins at the priests' house... to the mad chase from the library... all the way to the high-speed climax in old man Geisendorff's stolen Thunderbird.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA sampling of the provocative and often hilarious essays, sketches and screeds David Benjamin has written weekly for decades.
