1951 meeting notes...
Humphreys (to Rosselli) : "Tell the boys out there in LA, St. Louis, Memphis and Kansas City that we claim hegemony over their activities."

Rosselli: "Tell them we claim what"?

Accardo: "You know. Hegemony!!!"

Ricca: "What are you , uncouth or something. Hegemony. It means we're the hedge funds".

Accardo: "Da big wheels, like. They gotta hedge bets with our wire service and give us our money. Thus the word hegemony. Right, Hump?"

Humphreys: (sigh) "Yes, Tony, you've got it exactly..."

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
