	Meyer Lansky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lansky was instrumental in Luciano's rise to power, when he helped in the killing in 1931 of his boss, Joe Masseria, and later warned Luciano of the plans by Salvatore Maranzano (the other major New York mafia boss of the time) to kill Luciano and Vito Genovese.
		Lansky had established gambling operations in Florida, New Orleans and Cuba by 1936, the year Luciano was convicted and sent to prison.

	Paul Lansky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Lansky (born 1944) is one of the 'original' electronic music or computer music composers who has been producing works from the seventies right up to the present day (see discography, below).
		A former student of George Perle, he is a professor of music composition at Princeton University, and in addition to his music is known as a pioneer in the development of computer music languages for algorithmic composition (see Real-Time Cmix).
		At around this point there was a slight change in the style of Lansky's music that made it sound slightly more, for want of a better word, 'modern', and 1997 heralded a one hour 'computer opera', Things She Carried, a musical portrait about an unnamed woman in a series of eight movements.

		Lansky might be an outlaw in America, but in Cuba he was welcomed as the man who knew how to put things straight.
		Lansky placed his brother Jake in charge of the casino floor, and night after night Jake surveyed the proceedings from his giant ladder to make sure the games were kept clean.
		Lansky and Batista were, to all intents and purposes, partners in the commercial development of Cuban gambling, but there was nothing so crass as a direct transfer of funds from one to the other.

	Meyer Lansky
		Lansky never begrudged Luciano his top role, realizing that the title brought the clear dangers of notoriety and, no matter how many payoffs were made, the hazard of being the target of the law.

	Amazon.com: Books: Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of A Man Who Rescued A Million Yiddish Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Lansky was a 23-year-old graduate student in 1980 when he came up with an idea that would take over his life and change the face of Jewish literary culture: He wanted to save Yiddish books.
		Lansky's account of salvaging books is both hilarious and moving, filled with Jewish humor, conversations with elderly Jewish immigrants for whom the books evoke memories of a faraway past, stories of desperate midnight rescues from rain-soaked Dumpsters, and touching accounts of Lansky's trips to what were once thriving Jewish communities in Europe.
		Often when Lansky and his helpers arrived, there was a smorgasbord of food waiting for them and the person giving away the books usually had some tales to tell about how they acquired the books, or about what it was like to be Jewish immigrants in New York sixty or seventy years ago.

		Recognizing that Lansky's creative stature is as palpable in the exquisiteness of his music as it is in the detail of his curriculum vitæ, I decided to think of this interview as a collection of corridor chats (non-linear, of course!).
		To view Lansky as a computer hacker or boffin is to see him with only one of his hats on (others he wears are Professor of music at Princeton University, composer, guitar freak and folk music lover).
		For instance, Lansky has taken an interest in presenting familiar musical genres replete with a mixture of real and synthetic instruments such as the guitar interpreted through the 'plucked string' algorithm.

		Meyer Lansky loomed large in the American imagination both in his lifetime and afterward.
		Lansky was the inspiration for the Hyman Roth character (played by famed acting teacher Lee Strasberg) in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II (1974) and was portrayed in other mafia films, including Bugsy (1991)and Mobsters (1991).
		But the stories that nurtured the Lansky legend--those that boasted about his leadership of Murder, Inc., a group of killers for hire, and his position as "Chairman of the Board" of the mob's National Syndicate--could not be corroborated by his biographer Robert Lacey.
