		Since Rosselli vanished and resurfaced bisected, his halves encased in separate oil drums in Miami’s bay, it behooved anyone closely associated to become invisible.
		Her minor legend was left to the custody of obsessive collectors of memorabilia from the last tango of glamour in American popular culture.
		Readers may speculate whether Vivian’s biological father was Johnny Rosselli or Bobby Kennedy—that’s just one coincidental bonus of this carefully researched novel.

	Johnny Rosselli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John "Handsome Johnny" Rosselli (July 4, 1905 - August 9, 1976) had been a very influential mafia soldier, one who had helped to control Hollywood and Las Vegas for the Chicago Outfit and who had been deeply involved with the CIA plots to kill Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in the early 1960s.
		In 1942, Rosselli had been indicted on federal labor racketeering charges along with George Browne, former president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees union, and Willie Bioff, labor racketeer and former pimp.
		Rosselli (who had specialized in spreading rumors and disinformation to divert suspicion away from the Mafia) is believed by some researchers to have been the chief source of the falsehood that Castro had been behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

	FBI Memo to Attorney General
		Maheu knew Rosselli only casually through clients but had been given to understand that Rosselli was a high ranking member of the Syndicate and controlled all of the ice making machines on the Strip.
		Rosselli's initial reaction was to avoid getting involved, but through Maheu's persuasion he agreed to introduce him to a friend, Sam Gold, who knew the Cuban crowd.
		Rosselli was last known to be in the Federal Penitentiary in Seattle, Washington.

		It has been suggested that Johnny Rosselli be merged into this article or section.
		Born Filippo Sacco in Esperia, Italy (in the Province of Frosinone) on July 4, 1905, he had been best known by his mob nickname of "Handsome Johnny." Sacco had immigrated with his family from Italy to the USA in 1911, settling in Boston, Massachusetts.

		Johnny didn't bother to tell me that "Sam" was Sam Giancana, his boss within the Mafia and the chief of its gigantic Chicago operation.
		Rosselli had a reputation inside the mob as a patriot; he was quite willing to kill for his country.
		Rosselli delivered two sinister mystery men whom he introduced only as Sicilians named "Sam" and "Joe." In fact, they were two of the Mafia's most notorious godfathers, Sam Giancana and Santo Trafficante, both on the FBI's ten-most-wanted list.

		Accordingly, he was laying a long, bright trail of evidence that unmistakably implicated the CIA in the Castro plot.
		The nearest Rosselli came to killing Fidel Castro was in September 1961.
		Despite his "powerful contacts" however, Johnny Roselli was always getting in trouble with the law, and the covert, anti-Communist operative who expected prosecutorial immunity for colluding with the government, was willing to do anything, including promote a government sponsored fraud, to secure the favor he cultivated.

		Rosselli, brought to this country from Italy as a child, was a key figure in organized crime for decades until he was murdered in 1976.
		Born Filippo Sacco in Italy, Rosselli's long Mafia career ended in 1976 when he was slain following his Senate testimony about his role in the CIA-Mafia plot to kill Fidel Castro.
		In between, Rosselli, who started with the Capone mob, was most active in Hollywood and Las Vegas.

	Sheffield Edwards
		Along with James P. O'Connell, a former FBI agent who was Edwards's operations chief, Edwards had met a mobster, Johnny Rosselli, at a clambake given by Robert Maheu in the summer of 1959.
		Rosselli was a medium-level hood (he had the concession for the ice-making machines on the Strip in Las Vegas, as well as a number of less legitimate interests in the gambling world).
		Maheu later wrote that Rosselli agreed to help for "patriotic reasons." Rosselli himself testified before the Church Committee in 1975 that he had "felt an obligation to my government." A more plausible explanation is that Rosselli saw an opportunity to collect a marker.

		Rosselli's former mob associate and Castro assassination co-conspirator Sam Giancana had just been shot before he could testify before the Senator Church's select committee.
		Rosselli was scheduled to appear before the same committee in a few days, but he didn't seem concerned that somebody might try to permanently silence him.
		Rosselli's body was found when the drum bobbed back up in Dumfoundling Bay on August 7, 1976 -- a year after his testimony concerning CIA plots to kill Castro and ten days after he had left his sister's house in Plantation, promising he would be back for dinner.

	The Education Forum > Scenario
		If CIA agents were involved I suspect Rosselli recruited them (probably over drinks) and I suspect he did so not because the plot really needed their expertise but to ensure a cover-up.
		Rosselli was nothing more than a pimp to the mafia and the government.
		Rosselli as he has been referred to through the Cuban Ops is as laughable as the Cuban Ops was in itself.

		Eventually Rosselli and his friends became convinced that the Cuban revolution could not be reversed by simply removing its leader.
		Gambling in Guatemala City was in the hands of Ted Lewin, a Lansky representative already active in the Philippines, in collaboration with the CIA and with such up-and-coming politicians as future president Ferdinand Marcos.
		Rosselli's purpose, however, was not just to assassinate Castro but to set up the Mafia's partner in crime, the United States government.

	New Criminologist Mob Profile update: Roselli, Johnny (1905-1976) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Johnny Rosselli aka John F. Stewart and John Rasselli was Chicago's sleeper agent out West, having been sent there in late 1924 to develop gambling, extortion and vice rackets for the outfit, and to help set up a national wire service, which was run by Moses Annenberg, whose family would later publish TV Guide.
		The Outfit's decision (actually, it was Al Capone's choice) to send Johnny Rosselli to Hollywood was a smart one, because Johnny was a real hustler, an "earner," with movie star good looks, an easy charm and a smooth but phoney style that fit right into the Hollywood scene of the fifties and sixties.
		But despite his polished manner, expensive suits and practiced dialogue, Rosselli was nothing more then a slicked-back hood, an antisocial punk with deep, psychological problems that put a permanent chip on his shoulders.

		Rosselli wore Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses indoors, and moved with cool ease in a double-breasted linen suit.
		Rosselli was tanned and coiffed, sporting alligator shoes and a $2,000 watch, while Harvey was fat and fashionless, in his usual rumpled brown suit.
		Harvey was ordered to terminate the Rosselli connection, as he told a relieved Sam Papich in January 1963, and broke the news to a disappointed Johnny Rosselli at a February meeting in Los Angeles.

		Unknown to the Kennedys, Rosselli was continuing in that role in the fall of 1963.[22]
		Though Mafia hits against officials are rare, the Mafia families of Carlos Marcello, Santo Trafficante, and Johnny Rosselli had killed officials who threatened their survival.
		Since Chicago was home to Rosselli’s Mafia family, Tampa was Trafficante’s headquarters, and Dallas was in Marcello’s territory, the risk was shared between the three bosses.

	Who killed JFK? An Interview With Lamar Waldron
		However, the Kennedy's coup plan was infiltrated by three powerful Mafia bosses being targeted by Attorney General Robert Kennedy: Johnny Rosselli of the Chicago Mafia, Tampa godfather Santo Trafficante, and Carlos Marcello (godfather of Louisiana and east Texas).
		Rosselli's boss was under "lockstep surveillance" by the FBI, and even Trafficante's family members were being prosecuted.
		The book deals with evidence indicating that Mafioso present in Dealy Plaza that day could have included Johnny Rosselli, Chicago Mafia hitman Charles Nicoletti, French assassin Michel Victor Mertz, and a CIA operative working on the Kennedys' coup plan who was (unknown to the Kennedys) also working for the Mafia.

	reviewjournal.com -- News - NORM: JFK book includes Vegas connections
		Fearful they might be jailed or deported, the mobsters decided to kill JFK as a message to his brother, the book says.
		Rosselli got together with mob bosses Santo Trafficante, godfather of Tampa, Fla., and Carlos Marcello of New Orleans, whose racketeering empire included Dallas.
		When the mob learned -- Rosselli was a CIA operative -- about the coup, they were convinced they could move against JFK because his brother and the U.S. government would be hamstrung with national security issues, coming so soon after the 1962 U.S-Soviet missile crisis in Cuba.

		Three Mafia bosses—Johnny Rosselli of the Chicago mob, Santo Trafficante of Tampa, and Carlos Marcello of Louisiana/Texas—penetrated the Kennedys’ coup plan.
		This detail from a CIA memo shows that Rosselli’s Chicago Mafia family bought their way into the JFK-Almeida coup plan, with a $200,000 bribe to exile leader Tony Varona, one of the men working with the Kennedys.
		Louisiana and Dallas godfather Carlos Marcello, Tampa godfather Santo Trafficante, and Johnny Rosselli of the Chicago Mafia were under so much pressure in 1963 that they had to murder JFK in order to end the pressure from RFK.

		As Rosselli exhorted Sam Giancana, "Now let them see the other side of you." Mob lawyer Ragano also believes "the double-cross factor" was what provoked the action against the president.

		Other unauthorized CIA Castro assassination plots in the fall of 1963 included the CIA-Mafia plots with mobster Johnny Rosselli, who worked closely with David Morales, Chief of Operations at the CIA's huge Miami station.
		Tampa godfather Santo Trafficante, Carlos Marcello -- godfather of Louisiana and east Texas (including Dallas) -- and Johnny Rosselli's Chicago Mafia family were specific targets.
		As noted earlier, providing those weapons would have been the job of David Morales, who was also in position to know about the plot of Rosselli and the other mob bosses to kill JFK.
