Thanks for finding this, and posting this.

I have that copy of the magazine!

Great info on Joe Cerrito and Jimmy Lanza...two unknown but very influential guys

Great post NJ!

As a graphic artist, I can tell you that the 2 page spread of the United States illustration featuring The Commission is fantastic! I admire the content, information and most of all the artwork. Great find and post! I'm going to download this and play with it in Adobe for sure... Thanks!

You're on a roll NJ. This is some great stuff! The articles gives us an amazing historical prespective of the Mob during that era. Thanks for posting!

Those articles are real good .

Cook ain't gonna like the part about Richie the Boot getting Las Vegas skim $.

Maybe the boot was the rat that brought down the skim

Great articles NJ. Keep them coming. I heard John "Big John" Misuraca did not talk or take any phone calls from Joe Cerrito for months after that and only finally did when Thomas DiBella of the Colombo crime family told him not to disrespect a boss. It is funny that Frank Sorce is never mentioned in the extortion scam as he was the San Jose family representitive in Reno, not Las Vegas as many believe.

Does anyone know if that suit ever went through?

Great stuff, thanks!
