Author LORENZO CARCATERRA (Car-CA-terra). He is managing editor of the CBS weekly series "Top Cops." He's written a memoir, "A Safe Place," (Villard Books) about growing up, the son of a violent, loving, murderous, and generous father. They lived in New York's Hell's Kitchen during the 50s and 60s. Lorenzo found out at the age of 14 that his father had murdered his first wife when she threatened to leave him. Lorenzo's father went on to terrorize his second wife, beating her and Lorenzo.

His father would cry at the sound of a beautiful aria, but he could also be extremely violent at even the midest affront to his ego.
