 Mafia - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
An alleged additional benefit (from the American perspective) was that many of the Sicilian-Italian Mafiosi were hardline right-wingers, if not openly fascist, and many are known to have collaborated with the Mussolini regime.
In the United States, the Mafia began a steep decline in the late-1970s and early 1980s due in part to laws such as the RICO Act, which made it a crime to belong to an organization that performed illegal acts, and to programs such as the witness protection program.
The game is set in the fictious city of Lost Heaven (amalgamation of several real cities) and follows Tommy Angelo, a taxi driver who through certain circumstances becomes a part of the Salieri mafia family.

 City Sister Silver by Jáchym Topol Jachym Topol, translated by Alex Zucker Sestra
City Sister Silver marks a turning point in Czech prose, the point when literary development must finally break away and, after all the fatiguing twists and turns and subtle departures, strike out in a definite direction.
City Sister Silver is a one-of-a-kind response to the debate on whether and how it is possible to portray present-day reality in literature and art.
City Sister Silver is volcanic: Topol's imagination suddenly rips out from under the earth with eruptive force, then cools off in the later pages, giving the reader a chance to relax.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro > San Diego Corruption Trial
The jury that convicted two former San Diego city councilmen of corruption had a "fundamental misunderstanding" of the political system that was exploited by government prosecutors who "traded on the hostility of jurors to politicians," their lawyers said in documents made public yesterday.
The defense in the City Hall corruption trial called two unlikely witnesses yesterday to bolster their position that strip club owner Michael Galardi is a liar: Eric Johnson, the original federal prosecutor on the parallel case in Las Vegas, and San Diego FBI Agent Leonard Davey.
The City Hall corruption trial opened yesterday with the expected fanfare and a carefully crafted statement from the judge, who told about 140 prospective jurors that those who are selected "must not be influenced" by the turmoil in city government.

 Mobsters never did control Arizona
The death of former Mafia overlord Joe Bonanno in Tucson a week ago was a postscript to the story of the traditional mob in Arizona, a state that Mafiosi historically viewed as a place to retire, hide out or cool off.
Part of the reason: Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles targeted Mafiosi in news stories before he was killed in a car bomb attack in 1976, causing a hard-nosed law-enforcement response.
The Mafiosi who operated here were primarily from New York City, upstate New York and Chicago, though the second-most notorious mobster in the state after Bonanno was Peter "Horseface" Licavoli, a Detroit crime boss who hosted mob get-togethers on his Grace Ranch near Tucson prior to his death in 1984.

Mehta breaks MAXIMUM CITY down into a number of intuitive sections, each of them exemplified by a particular personality engaged in the activity under the given chapter's microscope who reside in the Bomaby/Mumbai metropolis.

Palermo was, and still is, the centre of trade, commerce and politics for the island of Sicily, and thus the Mafia made its base here, as opposed to the rural interior of the island which was backward and underdeveloped in economic terms.
An alleged additional benefit (from the American perspective) was that many of the Sicilian-Italian Mafiosi were hardline anti-communists, as the Mafia could not bear any other form of social organisation in its heartland of Sicily, being the monopolist of power and violence on the island.
