Speaking about U.S. presidents and mobsters....there's one old story regarding Chicago Mafia member (besides being Neapolitan) and West Side political crime boss Diamond Joe Esposito allegedly meeting with U.S. President Calvin Coolidge sometime around the mid 1920's, and Esposito allegedly made a business deal with the President who in turn placed his own several guys as contacts with Esposito's men in the bootlegging business. One of those few contacts was allegedly Joe Kennedy.
