[13-14 / 15º-45º] are the coordinates of an unnamed constellation in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe", that has a star named "Alcapone".

Alphonse "you can call me Al" Capone (1899-1947) was a famous gangster, born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. He became the leader in Chicago bootlegging, gambling, and prostitution during the Prohibition Era. His involvement in gang and liquor wars left hundreds of people dead in Chicago and its suburbs. Increasingly implicated in the corruption of political, law enforcement, and labor officials, he was convicted of income-tax evasion (1931) and sentenced to 11 years. He was released in 1939 because, infected with syphilis, his mental condition was deteriorating.
