Not sure why this is, but for some reason, I've had The Godfather on my mind lately. I think the reason that it is probably the most highly acclaimed film of all time is that it (and Part II) for the first time, awakened the public to the reality that this is how much of the world works. Take note of all the supposedly "good" things that Don Vito Corleone did for certain people.
I remember when I watched Geraldo Rivera come up with nothing in the televised showing of the opening of Al Capone's vault. In it, a former associate (non-mob family related) recounted how Capone was "his buddy", and that "he could not have been any nicer to my Mama".
I'm sure there are lots and lots of people (both mob and non-mob related) in Boston who still revere Whitey Bulger.
