FROM FORWARD: "His contemporaries would say that he was just a punk and didn't a count to anything. In the end, that's how he ended up. But before a series of mistakes. The majority of which resulted from his own poor decision making, he was a gangster to be reckoned with. He had the right political and police connections and rubbed elbows with the top gangland personalities of his day: Arnold Rothstein, Owner Madden, Dutch Schultz, Salvatore Spitale and Charlie "Lucky" Luciano, all of whom accepted him as an equal until either he doublecrossed them or it proved too dangerous to do so."
