Over the past couple of months, I'd been reviewing the various works based on The Untouchables, the team of Prohibition agents gathered by Eliot Ness to take down Al Capone and his South Side Gang. One thing that kept popping out, whether it was from the 1959 series, the 1987 movie, or the 1993 syndicated series - the biggest problem of the era was corruption, not alcohol.
This is going to be my impression of events, past and current. I may have things wrong. The source of the problem was lawlessness, but the problem was money. It's a problem that's still around, maybe worse today. Time to dig deeper.
