Chasing a nighttime mirage on a rain-swept highway has no happy ending for either the quick or the dead.

The truth is most [members of the Mafia] are stupid and at best capable of holding only menial jobs. They use dog-pack intimidation to get what they want, whether it involves preferential seating in a restaurant or taking over a labor union. On a personal level their sexual habits are adolescent or misogynistic, their social behavior inept and laughable.
