    Crime Network Will Find an Endless Source of Inspiration in Hill’S Account of Mafia Life

    Network News April 2010 Bedrock Game’s Bi-Monthly Newsletter Book Review Wise Guy by Nicholas Pillegi BY BRENDAN DAVIS Even if you haven’t read Wise Guy, there is a good chance you already know the story of Henry Hill. Martin Scorsese based his hit film “Goodfellas” on this 1985 tell-all book, and the movie remains one of the highest rated gangster films of all time. Anyone who enjoyed the movie will absolutely love the book and anyone who plays Crime Network will find an endless source of inspiration in Hill’s account of mafia life. Written by Nicholas Pileggi (who also wrote Goodfel- las), Wise Guy provides a street level view of life in the Lucchese crime family from the perspective of Henry Hill, a lowly associate. Hill Explains, in vivid detail, how crimes are committed, how people are murdered and how a crime family operates. He even explains how stolen goods are sold on the street. Reading the book is like being beside Hill as he greases hands and lights fires for Lucchese capo, Paul Vario. Henry’s narrative isn’t just a peephole into a rarely seen underworld of vice; criminal. The book’s author, Pileggi, describes Vario as it drags the reader into that world as deeply as Tolkein a someone who moved “in the lumbering manner of a drags the reader into Middle Earth. man who knew that people and events waited for him.... [h]e seemed invulnerable. deliberate. He exhorted the Pileggi does the right thing by keeping his ego in check sort of lethargy that sometimes accompanies absolute and allowing Henry Hill to tell the tale in mostly his power”.

The Story of Henry Hill Ronnin Einhaus Daniel Henry Holmes Hall Ratcliff College - Cambridge, Massachusetts Carol A. Hudson Upon graduating from Holmes High School, I thought I knew a little history about Daniel Henry Holmes. As students, we learned he had been the wealthy proprietor of D. H. Holmes Department Store in New Orleans, a local landowner, and patri- arch of an immensely successful family. Holmesdale, his estate in the south of Covington, was purchased in 1915 by the Covington School Board.1 The newly acquired thirty-two room mansion, “the Castle,” was used as the local high school until 1936. Much more was learned over the years, but only recently was the story of Daniel Henry Holmes Hall discovered. So how did Radcliffe College, and later Harvard University, become part of the story? Radcliffe was founded in 1879 as an institution devoted solely to educating young women. At first, the school was known as Harvard Annex but the name was changed to Radcliffe College in 1898. Merging of Radcliffe and Harvard started in 1963 with the conferring of joint diplomas. Both schools signed a formal merger agreement in 1977, but not until 1999 did the two fully integrate. With that agreement, Daniel Henry Georgine Holmes, circa 1860 courtesy Kenton County Public Library Holmes Hall became part of the Harvard University residential system.2 Through the guidance of both schools, Radcliffe College became Radcliffe Institute On March 8, 1950, The Harvard Crimson published for Advanced Study.3 the following description of Holmes Hall.

    Abrams 1 For the People?: The Role of Prosecutorial Misconduct in the Rise of Progressive Prosecution in Brooklyn, 1964-2019 Kayla Abrams Undergraduate Senior Thesis Department of History Columbia University March 2021 Seminar Advisor: Professor Samuel Roberts Second Reader: Professor Kellen Funk Abrams 2 Abstract In this paper, I investigate how “progressive prosecution” arose in Brooklyn in the early 2010s. I argue that “progressive prosecution” emerged in reaction to the prosecutorial misconduct that characterized the Office for most of its history. To prove this, I show that the history of the Brooklyn DA’s Office is one in which the Office was constantly combating the reality and perception of malpractice. While the Office was able to limit corruption when it professionalized in the late 1960s, it was unable to do the same with prosecutorial misconduct due to a lack of political pressure or the respective DA’s “insider” status—and often both. Therefore, Ken Thompson was able to capitalize on this inability to deal with prosecutorial misconduct throughout those fifty years, along with a growing national desire for a less punitive criminal justice system, to bring progressive prosecution to Brooklyn. As Brooklyn is the fifth largest jurisdiction in the country, with an estimated population of over 2.5 million people, any change in Brooklyn always has national implications. However, while my analysis has this specific regional focus, the story I tell is not just a Brooklyn story. Although every Office does have their own unique history, the factors I discuss – continual prosecutorial misconduct, changing public opinion on the punitiveness of the justice system, and “progressive” candidates – were present in other cities who in the ensuing decade have similarly elected “progressive prosecutors”, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St.

He was 69 and had lived openly in Topanga, Calif., in recent years. He had previously lived — far less openly — in Seattle; Cincinnati; Omaha; Butte, Mont.; and Independence, Ky., among many other places, as well as in the United States Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pa. His death, in a hospital, came after a series of health problems that included heart disease and the toll of years of heavy smoking, his fiancée, Lisa Caserta, said. A native New Yorker of half-Irish, half-Sicilian parentage, Mr. Hill was involved with the Luchese family, considered the most powerful of the city’s original five Mafia families, from his youth in the 1950s until 1980. That year, arrested on drug-trafficking charges and facing the prospect of a long prison term, to say nothing of possible execution by his former bosses, Mr. Hill became a government witness against his past associates. His testimony in multiple trials helped send dozens of people to prison. 1 of 5 12/1/19, 5:19 PM Henry Hill, Mobster of ‘Goodfellas,’ Dies at 69 - T... https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/14/nyregion/he..

This article begins with taking stock of reception directions which still dispute the field of film adaptation. Cued by Worthen’s “Performance Paradigm”, my argument positions Luhrmann’s film (his second at the time and the one to propel the Australian director into Hollywood fame) firmly in the cinematic and sees the film narrative not as opposed to the textual and/or spoken one, but as a complex citational practice developed at the level of oral, visual and written discourse. Keywords: Romeo and Juliet, adaptation, citation, suture, fragmentation, surrogation. Classical adaptation criticism discusses Shakespeare films – as Jack Jorgens (1991: 8) argues – “by measuring their relative distance from language and conventions of the theatre”, with the purpose of analysing the shift from powerfully said to “powerfully seen to be effective on film”. Most reviews of Luhrmann’s 1996 film William Shakespeare’s Romeo+Juliet largely discuss it against textual authority and therefore classify it as a bad translation of the text into a twentieth-century context, full of inconsistencies and incoherent in interpretation.

    Goodfellas Martin Scorsese USA 1990 146 minutes Cast: Robert De Niro (James Conway), Ray Liotta (Henry Hill), Joe Pesci (Tommy De Vito), Lorraine Bracco (Karen Hill), Paul Sorvino (Paul Cicero), Frank Vincent (Billy Batts) A brash, menacing hightail through the death of the mob ... Scorsese’s 1990 masterpiece zips along with relish, and his acting A-team – De Niro, Pesci, Liotta – are on top form as this brilliant comic nightmare unfolds ‘Being a gangster was better than being president of the United States!” Is it less of a choice than ever? The rerelease of Martin Scorsese’s brash and brilliant mob masterpiece from 1990 – about the rise and fall of Irish-Italian criminal Henry Hill, from the 60s to the 80s – is a reminder of what his very best work looks like, and you can feel again the stunning impact of his A-team: Robert De Niro as Jimmy “The Gent” Conway and the Oscar-winning Joe Pesci as his psychopathic buddy Tommy DeVito, with Paul Sorvino as the malevolent and slow- moving capo Paulie Cicero and the director’s mother Catherine Scorsese superb in her cameo as Tommy’s artistically inclined mom. Ray Liotta gives a thrillingly livewire and career-defining performance as the wide-eyed aspirational tough guy Henry himself, whose gorgeous gravelly voice gives this film its sensational voiceover, along with Lorraine Bracco, imperious and charismatic as Henry’s loyal, mistreated wife Karen, perhaps the one character who emerges from the story with something approaching dignity. Since the movie’s original release, Bracco and Michael Imperioli (the hapless Spider) went on to star in HBO’s The Sopranos, which developed and amplified the movie’s theme that being a gangster isn’t as great as it used to be.
