Learn the secrets of Al Capone's vault! Meet the mothers of serial killers! All in your local Two River Times, thanks to Geraldo Rivera. Farfetched, maybe, but that's what some of New Jersey's Monmouth County residents fear they'll get. The talk-show host bought a 75% interest in the small weekly, and next week becomes managing editor. He insists that the Times will be "democratic" and "won't just be filled with pictures of social swells." How will he fill it? In part, with hard news stories that flush out "polluters, scofflaws and crooks." Sound familiar?
