	Gang Land News: John Gotti
		John Gotti, a former truck hijacker from Queens, burst on the scene after his Mafia boss was blown away in midtown Manhattan during the height of the evening rush hour.
		Gotti was the focus of many Daily News Gang Land columns, including one as his racketeering trial opened in January, 1992, and another as the case drew to a smashing conclusion five months later.
		Gotti was the antihero of "Mob Star: The Story of John Gotti," by Gene Mustain and Jerry Capeci, and is also the main focus of Gotti: Rise and Fall, a book we co-authored that was the basis for GOTTI, an HBO movie.

		Gotti was serving a life sentence after being convicted of murder and racketeering.
		Gotti was a classic gangster straight out of central casting, with a larger-than-life appeal that sprouted from a contradictory mix of violent outbursts and an uncanny ability to win the admiration of his Queens neighborhood, where he was known for organizing picnics and giving handouts.
		Gotti was born October 27, 1940, in the Bronx, into a large blue-collar family.

	John Gotti
		Gotti was cut from the old mold, a type some law enforcement officials say hasn't been matched around New York Mafia circles since the demise of Albert Anastasia, the chief executioner of Murder, Inc., and reportedly Gotti's underworld idol.
		Gotti, convicted as one of the death squad, served a portion of a seven-year sentence in Green Haven prison.
		Gotti faced intensive federal prosecutions in the late 1980s, and it seemed highly likely that the young mob boss would almost certainly be convicted and would have to be replaced, if only temporarily, by a new leader of the Gambino family.
