RE: BRUTALLY HONEST: The Truly Evil Books, The Truly Evil Literature, The True Diabolical Tomes, Not The Ones You Would Suspect
Expand for us Neophytes... I am only just starting to really dig into Alinsky. I've heard the name Frank Nitti before, though I don't remember why and I didn't cheat and GOOGLE it to make myself seem like I know what you are talking about. Isn't it amazing how we can use Google and Search Engines these days to make it seem like we are wise and know things without actually knowing them. Well apparently I know nothing about Frank Nitti. Tell me more. :)
Frank Nitti was Al Capone's enforcer and successor after Big Al went to the pen. For a relatively uneducated man, he was very good with numbers and turned out to be a very astute businessman. In fact when prohibition was repealed, it was Nitti's savvy that kept the mob from going under.
Ahhh yes.... I remember the name with relation to that but would not have made the connection to Saul Alinsky. If you do a post about this please reply and let me know so I don't miss it.
