Sgt. Ed Croswell of the New York State Police just couldn’t get past that puzzler, as he sat in his unmarked cop car in woodsy upstate Apalachin, pulled off to the side of muddy, bumpy McFall Road in autumn 1957 looking at the Chrysler Crown Imperial parked outside a stone farmhouse.
Maybe if it had just been the one well-polished land boat, Sgt. Croswell would’ve brushed it off. But there were a dozen parked alongside the driveway or pulled into a field by the rustic farm estate. Lincolns, Cadillacs, Continental

That is why I could never understand why Bobby Kennedy prosecuted the mob so vigorously. The mob seemed like the perfect partner in crime for the Kennedys.

The significance of Apalachin was not the roundup itself, but in how it changed the way Americans saw the mob.... the Mafia was not merely a loose collection of rackets. The array of license plates ... at Apalachin showed it was indeed a shadowy national syndicate. “No one had really ripped off the veil and seen that this was not just a couple of isolated hoods, but a vast national organization,” federal mob buster and Mayor Rudy Giuliani would say... “Apalachin gave the first demonstrative, solid evidence that this was a very large criminal conspiracy.”Yesterday it was the mob that law enforcement ignored and politicians were in bed with. Today it is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Maybe it will remind people of the magnitude of organized crime, such as the Chicago gang that stole the government of the United States..
