The Partnership for New York City is a group of business leaders pledged to work for the economic and cultural betterment of all five boroughs.

Its many partners include American Express, Con Edison, Macys, Tiffany & Co.

\"He has terrific personal skills, a wonderful sense of humor and a lot of guts,\" [Michael Mukasey] said of his former protg. \"He gets things done efficiently. He doesn't enlist a cast of thousands but a core of focused people.\" \"I was working hard and putting money in other people's pockets,\" [Daniel Nardello] said. \"I wanted autonomy.\" \"Why would I stop?,\" Nardello said. \"Every day is a free ticket to a show.\"

''They tried to do something about it,'' he said. ''This is what they got for their trouble - a trial in Federal court.'' Defendants 'Are Lying' Mr. [Kenneth Kaplan] compared the Federal Government to Sisyphus, the Greek mythological king who was condemned to an eternal struggle pushing a heavy boulder up a steep hill. ''The Government has a very steep burden in this case,'' he said. ''Every day you see them rolling their carts of evidence into this courtroom. They too, like Sisyphus, are doomed to failure.'' 'Cover Stories' Concocted Earlier in his three-hour summation, Mr. Kaplan twice recited a couplet written by Sir Walter Scott: ''What tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive!'' He used the verse to describe what he called ''cover stories'' concocted by the witnesses and the prosecution. He concluded by depicting Officer [Alphonse Iannacone] as a man over whose head ''the sword of Damocles has long hovered.''

Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Nardello filed the papers in federal court to oppose [Steven Hoffenberg]'s request that a judge enforce the plea bargain the two sides made last September. Hoffenberg had agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and plead guilty to five felonies in exchange for avoiding trial on more charges and for a recommendation that he be given a lighter sentence. Each of the five felonies carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. According to Nardello, as the interviews went on, investigators believed that Hoffenberg was lying and cancelled the deal. Specifically, they claimed, Hoffenberg lied about his involvement with two new debt collection companies known as Diversified Credit and Stratford Credit Corporation. After one meeting, according to Nardello, Hoffenberg \"explained that he had lied to the government in an effort to find a way to support his family.\"

California police believe Gunn, 32, died because of a tangled marital web that linked him to Nardello. Nardello, 33, of Concord, Calif., was married to Gunn's ex-wife, Cherie Nardello. But the Nardellos had split up four months ago, and Gunn had returned to live with Cherie Nardello and their two children, a boy, 7, and a girl, 5. Police suspect that [Daniel Anthony Nardello] killed Gunn in a fit of jealousy when he found him at the house. When Cherie returned home to 318 Rena Ave. on Jan. 19, she found a stream of blood in the driveway and in the kitchen. Witnesses told police they saw a large object wrapped in a tarp in the pickup owned by Nardello on the day Gunn was killed. Police issued an all-points bulletin throughout California, and Nardello was found that day driving a pickup truck, with his boat attached, near Antioch. Blood was found in Nardello's pickup and in his boat, but he refused to tell authorities anything about Gunn's body. After resuming the search last week, police called it off again until they could get a plane equipped with high tech infrared equipment to fly over the area. Surrounded by family, Gunn's mother [Marjorie Gunn] said she cannot believe that such a terrible thing happened to a son of hers. \"He was a big teddy bear. He always had a smile,\" said Gunn, who last visited her son in April.

Police found a trail of blood in Cheri Gunn's driveway and kitchen, [Jim O'Meara] said. And witnesses told police they saw a large object in a tarp in [Daniel Nardello]'s pickup. Nardello was stopped near Antioch, towing a boat with blood in it, police said.

Nardello's lawyer, James McWilliams, a public defender, said: \"He has no ability to flee . . . He doesn't have much means.\" McWilliams said last night that the case against his client is circumstantial. Nardello is due in court April 6. Police believe Nardello, 33, shot Gunn, 32, in a jealous rage. Nardello, a fisherman, is married to Gunn's ex-wife, Cherie Nardello. But the Nardellos had split up, and Gunn had recently moved in with his ex-wife and their two children. `I had to think like this killer,\" said [Matt Gunn], offering his theory of how the body had been disposed of. He said he and his brother were convinced that, if Nardello was guilty, he would have buried the body on Donlon Island, a patch of bullrushes and mud that is mostly under water at high tide. As he stood in the bow of a volunteer's motorboat, he silently communicated with his dead sibling. \"I was like, `Where the hell are you, dude? I better find you,' \" he recalled.

Barry Agulnick, [Mary McDermott]'s attorney, countered by telling the jury that [Alphonse Iannacone] and McDermott \"worked in an environment where the most degrading crimes occurred. They tried to do something about it. This is what they got for their trouble: a trial in federal court.\" Agulnick said that it was unlikely any of the eight men arrested by the transit officers would admit to any crimes. Calling one of the witnesses unreliable, Agulnick said the man was presented \"from the office that gave you Sukhreet Gabel.\" He was referring to the chief prosecution witness in the trial that resulted in last December's acquittal of former city Cultural Affairs Commissioner Bess Myerson. Agulnick also contended that prosecutors had not shown a motive for the officers to make false arrests. He denied that the officers, who worked in a plainclothes unit on the Lexington Avenue IRT line in lower Manhattan, could advance their careers by making arrests.

[Barry Agulnick] played the tape in court. It disclosed that [Dorina Galdau] was concerned her husband would be angry with her, even though there was no implication she did anything improper. \"Would you feel, in your mind, that you, the victim, did something wrong?\" Agulnick asked, pointing at the witness, his voice raised. After Galdau, a short, dark-haired woman wearing large glasses, left the courtroom, the prosecution called in the man who had been accused of rubbing up against Galdau. [Wayne Dickson] testified [Alphonse Iannacone] asked him for his identification and then, \"He told me he saw me looking at a Hispanic woman on the train,\" the woman standing next to Galdau.
