For decades, the mafia had New York City in a stranglehold, with law enforcement seemingly powerless to intervene.
It uses terror to extort people.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is to decide on a process and stick to it, and enjoy bonus time from the decisions you don't have to make in the future.
In a recent episode of my other podcast, Best of Both Worlds, my co -host Sarah Hart Unger mentioned that she uses Amazon's Subscribe and Save feature for a lot of household goods.
For items you need to replenish frequently if you subscribe and save, Amazon sends you a batch at a cadence you choose.
Lots of people use this for diapers or sunscreen, printer ink, shampoo.
The upside is that you don't have to keep placing orders.
And since Amazon likes the guaranteed business, the company gives you a discount.
But this is not a podcast about Amazon or saving money.
So you may be wondering where a Subscribe and Save fits in.
Well, it turns out that in life, you can subscribe and save with time, too.
When you subscribe to one process, metaphorically, and use it again and again, you can save a fair amount of time.
So, for instance, maybe you decide that one particular cookbook is your source of recipes.
You make several recipes from there, again and again.
No need to spend time figuring out what to bring to a family gathering.
No need to pretest a recipe before serving it to guests.
You subscribe and save to recipes in that book, and thus save time, any time you need to produce homemade food for something.
You can also subscribe and save with certain kid activities.
We have a local day camp that everyone's liked a reasonable amount, and so whenever someone has a summer week where they need to be busy, they get signed up for that.
I know there are other camps out there, and we do some of them, but it is also nice to save time on researching and get an experience that I know the kids will like.
You can subscribe and save with gifts as well.
Choose a go -to gift for the holidays and plan to give it to pretty much everyone.
You minimize the time spent shopping and have more time available for celebrating the holidays with loved ones.
Variety can be a source of fun in life, and when doing something new would give you joy, it's good to do it.
But some things in life are the equivalent of paper towels.
There is no real joy gained in researching different brands and shopping for them in the store.
Having those paper towels show up automatically at a discount can save time for more important things.
It's the same with time.
If a new idea isn't fun for you, then repeating a workable one is perfectly fine.
You can use the Save Time for something else.
Other aspects of your life where you subscribe and save with time, I'd like to hear about them at lauravandercam .com.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
Thanks for listening, and here's to making the most of our time.
