anytime they say listen

 

        When I was typing yesterday's post here, I was describing a documentary about the Mafia, and I started one paragraph with the sentence, "Rudy Giuliani is in it."

        Re-reading it today I thought, oh that could sound like Giuliani is "in" the Mafia -- he's "in it."  I meant of course that he is in the documentary.  

        In the '80s Giuliani was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and led federal prosecution of New York City mafia bosses.

Was going to watch Fear City on Netflix again, but first got sidetracked on You Tube -- there's a video where Mike Tyson is interviewing Michael Franzese.
