- Extra! Extra! Vito Lives
- </hdr><body>
- <p> Vito Marzullo had the shock of his life last week. The
- former alderman, 91, awoke one morning to find his own obituary
- on the front page of the Chicago Tribune. There was consolation
- in the encomiums by fellow pols, who hailed Marzullo as the
- "dean" of Windy City politics. The embarrassed Tribune, still
- renowned for its DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN headline in 1948, launched
- an investigation of the gaffe. It turned out that Marzullo's
- brother-in-law, who lived in the same building, had passed away.
