Good article and the only thing I have against is some claims as the term "American Mafia" being used for Irish organized crime, meaning Mafia is a term only for Italian organized crime. Yes, the real truth is that the Irish mob in the U.S. and its members were labelled as "mobsters" or "mob" since the late 19th century because they controlled everything, while during those days the Italian Mafia was still on its rise and didnt have numerous "world wide" connections, except for several cities around the U.S.
