Os rapazes estavam interessados nos rebuçados daquele estabelecimento situado nos li- mites do bairro de habitação social de Old harbor, em South Boston, onde todos viviam. – Aquele é o Whitey Bulger – sussurrou um deles. O lendário Whitey Bulger: magro, tenso, e com ar de poucos amigos, com uma cabeleira loira pálida que levara os polícias a chamar-lhe Whitey, ainda que ele detestasse a alcunha e preferisse o seu nome verdadeiro, Jimmy. Era o adolescente durão que andava com o gangue dos Shamrocks. Bulger apanhou os rapazes a olhar para ele e, num impulso, ofereceu gelados a todos. Ansiosos, dois deles escolheram os sabores que queriam. Mas o pequeno John Connolly hesitou, recordando as instruções da mãe – não aceitar nada de desconhecidos. Quando Bulger lhe perguntou porque não queria nada, os outros riram-se ao ouvir a regra da mãe do rapaz. Então, Bulger, assumiu o controlo: – Ouve lá, rapaz, não sou nenhum estranho. – Bulger ofereceu-lhe uma breve mas crucial lição sobre história e descendência: os antepassados de ambos eram irlandeses. Dificilmente poderiam ser considerados estranhos. Whitey perguntou de novo: – Que queres? Em voz baixa, Connolly respondeu: – Baunilha. – Satisfeito, Bulger levantou o rapaz até ao balcão para lhe dar um cone. Foi a primeira vez que John encontrou Whitey. Muitos anos depois, diria que a emoção de conhecer Bulger por acaso naquele dia tinha sido «como conhecer Ted Williams». 15 INtroDução a primavera de 1988, propusemo-nos escrever para o Boston Globe a his- Ntória de dois irmãos, Jim «Whitey» Bulger e Billy, o mais novo. Numa cidade com uma história tão longa e rica como Boston, cheia de todo o gé- nero de figuras históricas, os Bulger eram lendas vivas. Ambos dominavam a cena. Whitey, com cinquenta e oito anos, era o gângster mais poderoso da cidade e um assassino afamado. Billy Bulger, com cinquenta e quatro, era o político mais poderoso do Massachusetts, o presidente com a carreira mais longa nos duzentos e oito anos do Senado Estadual. Ambos eram famosos por serem astuciosos e implacáveis, traços partilhados que se faziam sentir nos respetivos mundos. Na sua essência, tratava-se de uma saga bostoniana, a história de dois irmãos que tinham crescido num projeto social do mais isolado dos bairros irlandeses, South Boston – «Southie», como era mais conhecido. Whitey, o rebelde primogénito, era presença frequente no tribunal e rara no liceu. ha- via rixas de rua e perseguições de automóvel, tudo isto com uma espécie de aura hollywoodesca. Na década de 1940, conduzira um carro pelos carris do elétrico e atravessara a antiga estação de Broadway sob o olhar chocado dos passageiros que se encontravam

    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.

  • Why Investigative Journalism Matters
    Credits © 2015 by The Boston Globe All rights reserved under the Pan-American and International Copyright Conventions. This book may not be reproduced in whole or in part, in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system now known or hereafter in- vented, without written permission from the publisher. 1 Spotlight is launched On September 27, 1970, The Boston Globe announced in the newspaper the creation of a “special, three-man investigative team” that would provide deeper coverage on the stories driving the discus- sions of the day. The team was modeled after the “Insight” team that worked at the Sunday Times of London, which had gained recognition as a leading investigative newspaper authority. The Globe’s announcement got straight to the point for its readers. “The team’s mission will be to reconstruct major news events as rapidly and comprehensively as possible, with an emphasis on the ‘why’ rather than the ‘what’ of an event. The unit will also seek to expose public corruption and malfeasance. Articles by the team will appear under the signature of “Spotlight.” Almost a half-century later, that mission endures, as Spotlight remains the oldest, continuously op- erating investigative unit at a newspaper in the United States. With its aggressive coverage of the Catholic church, the healthcare industry, the shady world of taxicabs, and the unregulated college housing crisis, to name a few examples, the Spotlight team embodies investigative journalism at its best. Spotlight gives a voice to the voiceless, by shining a light into corners of our society that demand accountability.

  • Three Felonies a Day
    Praise for Three Felonies a Day “Now comes veteran defense lawyer and civil libertarian Harvey A. Silverglate with riveting case studies exposing in technicolor a pat- tern of serious abuses and convictions of innocent people in some of the most famous (as well as obscure) federal cases of recent decades. Abetted by compliant courts and easily gulled media, the feds brand as criminals good people who intended no crime.” —Stuart Taylor, Jr., National Journal columnist and Newsweek contributing editor “In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate has written a work peerless in revelations about the mad expansion of federal statutes whose result is to define, as criminal, practices no rational citizen could have viewed as illegal. The book is chilling in its detail of the investigations and ruin that have befallen people ground up in this prosecution mill. Whether in the book’s scathing chronicle of the destruction of Arthur Andersen, largest accounting firm in the nation, an obscure attorney, or the bizarre government case mounted against a Boston politician—to name a few—Harvey A. Silverglate brings home, unforgettably, the truth that everyone is vulnerable to the terrors wrought by out of control prosecutors. No one reading this can fail to be gripped by these cases, by the hard bright light he shines on every step of these prosecutions, and the mindset that created them. It’s a bombshell that was worth waiting for.” —Dorothy Rabinowitz, Wall Street Journal editorialist and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize (Continued) “Gilbert & Sullivan wrote about how the punishment fits the crime.
