re: Major Newspapers Used to Report on Mafia Happenings as if They Were High Society
Posted by Ghost of Colby on 3/26/24 at 8:48 pm
That should have been a warning sign to the mafia that their days were numbered. For years the FBI and the Justice Department considered the mafia a disorganized problem confined to a few neighborhoods in a few cities. Local cops had no idea about its structure, and only knew a few names of anyone i...

I heard an interview by Texas Tech’s coach before the tournament, and you could tell he feared what was coming. He kept praising NC State, their progress throughout the year, and the fact they had evolved into a different team at the end of the season. ...
