Wow. Great as usual, Vacari. Thanks. I knew there had to be some history there.
I've read before that Civello was Marcello's guy. You mention Chicago. Wasn't Jack Ruby from Chicago, too? What was his role in Dallas's racket scene? By some accounts he was just a night club owner, but for some reason he capped Oswald on national television.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
