Organized crime-the Italian-Americanvariety-has long been a staple of popularentertainment. Now, Thomas Reppetto,coauthor of the highly praised NYPD,president of the New York City CitizensCrime Commission, and a former commander of detectives in Chicago, unravelsa history of the Mafia's rise that separatesfact from legend.
Reppetto's vivid narrative describeshow crime families from a variety ot ethnicbackgrounds were shaped by conditions inbig cities in the late nine eenth century.Spurred by prohibitIon, which explodedopportunities for organized crime, menlike Chicago's John Torno and New York'sLucky Luciano built their organizationsalong corporate lines, parceling out rri 0 -ries and adopting rules for the arbitrationof disputes. Good management and a tightorganizational structure enabled Italiangangs to continue operations even whenleaders were jailed or rubbed out.
Though bootlegging ties to "legitimate" businesses and cafe society gaveMafia big shots a shadowy respectability,it was bullets and bribes, not Stork Clubglamour, that counted.

behave properly (Frank Costello's childless marriage to a non-Catholic metthe same response). Lucky claimed that he was likely to "end up on a slab,"and didn't want to leave a widow. He also recollected that he and FrankCostello were the only bosseswho"didn't think that there was some kind ofItalian law that said he had to bang out a million kids." Perhaps his independence was part ofwhat made him successful.
At the base of the mob pyramid were "the boys"-perhaps as many as500 in Luciano's family and 1,500 more scattered through the others, counting some who were only loosely affiliated. Luciano made his boys dress assharply as he did, telling them, "Leave them wide-brimmed hats to Caponeand his Chicago guys." Becoming a "made member" could require elaborate initiations involving ceremonial drawing of the initiate's blood andswearing of oaths, and supposedly the membership books were closed afterthe early 1930s. The simplest way to find out if someone belonged to agroup was to find out if the boss thought he did. The mobs did not pay aregular salary, nor were they like robbery or burglary gangs that split up thetake so their boys had to scramble for their money. The advantages ofbelonging to an organized crime gang lay elsewhere. Membership providedpolitical influence in case they got in trouble with t h law-Luciano, especially, backed his boys to the hilt. It providedwork in gambling, slugging forhire, and loan-sharking. Sometimes a hoodlum who impressed his superiorswould be given a plum, such as a piece of a nightclub. His job would bekeeping an eye on the place to make sure the employees did not skimmoneyand rivals did not move in. I f the joint had a chorus line, the overseer couldhelp himself.
Lives of the low-level gangsters are not well documented. Though JoeValachi's testimony about his superiors is suspect, his description of his owncareer trajectory is fairly typical of his type. Born in East Harlem, he wentfrom a school truant to a petty criminal. At seventeen he was picked up inNew Jersey carrying a loaded gun; in his late teens he was an active burglarand did a stretch in Sing Sing. After the 1931 wars he was a small-time gambIer, sometimes in the chips, ending up a drug dealer. The pattern was thesame everywhere. Young men who came out of mob-dominated areas suchas East Harlem, the Lower East Side, Brooklyn'sWilliamsburg, or Chicago's

Lucky: The Rise and Rise of Charlie Luciano 145
NearWest Side, Cleveland's Woodlands district, South Philadelphia, or theNorth End of Boston had the best opportunity for making connections tobecomemob soldiers.New Yorkwas too big for a single unified organization, and the post-1931structure that developed with Luciano at its head was the optimum arrange
ment. It provided both concentrated power and dispersion, and as a resulteliminated or subordinated all rivals and gave better access to politics. Inboth instances it benefited from its opponents' weaknesses. A few monthsafter Maranzano's murder, Legs Diamond, who had survived four previousattacks, was surprised in an upstate hideout and filled with enough lead toguarantee he would not cheat death. Vince ColI was caught by DutchSchultz gunmen in a drugstore phone booth-OwneyMadden held him onthe line long enough for the killers to get to the scene.The Depression was a bleak time for Broadway nightlife. Many theaters
and nightclubs went dark. Often it was mob money that kept places open.Even if a nightspot was not profitable, it provided a place for gang membersto gather and enjoy the hot music and girls. Ritzy joints that catered to society were no different. The Stork Club and El Morocco ("Elmo's" to theelite) and many others had mob money behind them. The highest-paidentertainers performed at the Copacabana, which everyone knew belongedto Frank Costello. Willie Moretti's Riviera on the Jersey Palisades was justover the GeorgeWashington Bridge from Manhattan. Though the place rangambling, it was even more noted for the quality of its entertainment. In thethirties, a skinny young kid from nearby Hoboken named Frank Sinatramade his career breakthrough there.
In the political sphere, the Seabury investigation that the Tepecanoe incident had launchedwas expanded into a general probe ofmunicipal government. Many officials could not explain why their bank deposits were solarge. The sheriff of New York County attributed his wealth to money thatsomehow came out of a marvelous tin box in his attic. The public was notamused bywhatwas called the "the tin box parade." In 1932, when Seaburybrought charges against Mayor Walker himself, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt forced the mayor to resign. Downtown, Lucky Luciano decided itwastime for an Italian district leader and he "persuaded" Harry Perry, one of
