I just see it as an opportunity, and a transaction, I don't analyze it.
About Michael's line in Godfather III, a friend of mine muses about
the old and new Las Vegas. According to him, the US Government ran the
Mob out of Vegas so the corporations, the real criminals, could take
over. I couldn't agree more. No mistake the most popular guy in town,
the mayor, is a former Mob lawyer.
