    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.

Cleveland, Detroit, Newark, and Minneapolis have all merited extensive studies of Jewish gangsters. Chicago, with its much larger Jewish population, has not. Perhaps the dominance, notoriety, and public image of Al Capone has dissuaded potential researchers. Until now. This is not to say that no studies of Chicago’s Jewish underworld exist. They do. In 1927, Frederick Thrasher wrote The Gang, which includes material showing that, alongside the Polish, Italian, and Irish mobs, up to five per cent of the city’s gangs were Jewish.

G. Teive, Luciano de Paola ABSTRACT The Alcatraz prison, with its picturesque surroundings and fascinating life stories of its inmates, has been the subject of a number of films and publications. The authors take a closer look at the biographies of “Al Capone”, Robert “Birdman” Stroud and “Mickey” Cohen.

    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.

The Heart of the Matter: Resident Living Well with Profile: Helen Ramsdell By Lori Shutrump Heart Failure Living to be 105 years old is rare – as rare as Helen Ramsdell, who recently celebrated this monumental birthday. Oh, the changes she has seen! When she was born near Middletown, Ohio, the average life expectancy was 47 years of age, her family home did not have electricity or indoor plumbing, and women did not have the right to vote. “I was the oldest of seven children, and we lived on a farm with all kinds of animals,” she says. “We farmed the land, made our own maple syrup, milked the cows by hand, and every Saturday I cleaned and refilled the oil lamps.” She smiles and points to the lamp in her apartment, “That was my aunt’s courting lamp. If it was on, the boys were welcome to come over.” Helen’s keen mind easily retrieves memories from a century ago. “We had a tank outside that collected rain water for cooking and bathing, and we took our baths on “Oh, the changes Saturday night in a metal tub in the kitchen,” she says.
