	MAFIA IN APALACHIN
		Apalachin’s population in 1957 was less than 1,000 people and crime was a rarity.
		The composition of Apalachin’s town center was a couple of mom and pops stores, a hardware store where coal was sold to heat homes, a tavern, a barbershop and a Grange Hall where I attended kindergarten.
		I lived in Apalachin when the gangsters came to visit and it was my town’s happenstance that alerted the FBI and federal government that the Mafia was much more organized than they had realized.

	Apalachin Meeting - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Apalachin Meeting was a 1957 summit of US Mafia bosses that descended into a farce when those attending fled in panic after their gathering aroused the curiosity of the local police.
		The meeting took place on November 17, 1957 at the home of a middle-ranking mobster named Joseph "Joe the Barber" Barbara in Apalachin, New York.
		In addition to the bosses, the meeting was attended by their advisors and - because they did not trust each other - plenty of bodyguards, adding up to around a hundred men all at Barbara's 53 acre (214,000 m²) estate.

		The Apalachin conclave of Nov. 14, 1957, was a disaster.
		The Apalachin meeting was different than the standard Mafia get-togethers, which were held once every five years to authorize the making of new members, resolve territorial disputes and attend to other mostly mundane business.
		The meeting had originally been scheduled to take place in Chicago, but a number of the dons, including Magaddino, complained that the Windy City was a little bit hot that particular November because of a highly publicized IRS investigation into the finances of Chicago boss Tony "The Big Tuna" Accardo.

		The meeting was emblematic of the ascendancy of the Italian gangs in postwar organized crime.
