If it's from an interview, a surveillance tape, or some similar verifiable source that's properly cited, fine. There's no need for invented dialogue, tho, in...
Rick, Just the sort of answer I would expect from a capable and experienced researcher. And I generally agree with you. I feel the need, however, to make an...
I had the opportunity recently to read one of Peter Dale Scott's books on the Kennedy assassination. It was very well researched and fairly convincing - in a...
What it seems to me is that there were so many plots against Kennedy that there is truely no real way of finding out the truth. I am sure when we have...
I was watching something on Las Vegas last week in which they made reference to Bugsy Siegal and why he was killed. I has been said for many years that it was...

... Yep. I haven't run any statistics on this, but my impression is that "contract killings" generally fell into one of just a couple of categories. Either...
When you say that Lansky sent emissaries to protect the Flamingo as an investment are you referring to Gus Greenbaum? And if so was he or was he not affiliated...
If I remember right, the group included Moe Sedway. Among other Flamingo investers was Dave Berman of St. Paul who was supposed to be close to Lansky. I'm...
... Lani, Thanks for the message. Yes, Greenbaum was one of the guys. According to Fratianno's story, Greenbaum was a fairly sharp gambling operator in 1947....
