Mother Teresa? My Name's Gotti . . .

IT'S HARD TO FIND A better reference than Mother Teresa, who has issued clemency appeals on behalf of both S&L swindler Charles Keating and murderer Robert Alton Harris. In a letter to Keating's trial judge, Mother Teresa noted that the financier had donated $1 million to fight hunger, and she has publicized her objection to the death penalty in Harris' case. But even a "living saint" can't help lost causes: Keating drew 10 years in prison; Harris is to be executed this week.
