Almost finished Dino and my idyllic childhood memories are taking a beating.Back then ,I didn't realize the extent of control of the entertainment business the mafia had. Not only were Martin and Lewis indirectly connected to the mob (via the clubs they played ) but it also spread right into the government. When Kennedy was elected ,the mob gave a million dollars to help get him elected. They hoped that he would crack down on his brother Bobby and his pursuit of Hoffa and the Unions .Kennedy then promptly made Bobby the attorney General . After reading this I am wondering if the mob did have had something to do with their assassinations. Interesting huh! |
