Read about how a two State Troopers in a small town in Upstate New York brought the Mafia into the national spotlight.

Very intriquing article, Vance.

I just finished reading 'The Goddess', the story of Marilyn Monroe in her adult life. There was a lot of famous people connected to the Mafia in one way or another. These stories are always interesting to me.

Yes there were many famous people involved with the mob including Frank Sinatra, Lyndon Johnson, J. Edgar Hoover and plenty of others. In fact in the Godfather movie the whole thing with a singer named Johnny Fontaine is absolutely true and is about Frank Sinatra.

My next article, which will go live on Friday, talks about the collusion between the CIA and the Mafia to assassinate Fidel Castro. We know it didn't work and you will find out part of the reason why.

The history of the Mafia is very interesting. Did you know that organized crime actually started in New Orleans?

You will read about that in the coming weeks as well.

New Orleans? Wow - I did not know that. Seems like an unlikely place to have organized crime. I am anxious to read about that.

Nobody in our class knew that either. We all said places like New York, Chicago, Florida, California, etc... trying to think of all the coastal places where they might come into by ship. Not one person said Louisiana lol.

Maybe it was the Voodoo Queens that helped them out a little?
