During most of the Twentieth Century when syndicated Italian organized crime flourished in America, there existed a management structure consisting of notorious gangsters possessing diverse strategies and skills directed toward the perpetuation of the control of a vast network of criminal enterprises throughout North America. Although violent lawbreakers, they were not all bloodthirsty thugs lacking cerebral talents and positive public images.
