BUDRYK, from p,4

testified that Beckwith had privatly told them he had kil led Evers. He was found guilty and died in prison, proving that even the Mississippi justice system couldn't ignore a guy who was essentially a white supremacist version of that "Oid I ever tell you I was hit by lightning seven times?" guy. "I ever tell you guys how I killed Medgar Evers?" "Oh, Jesus Christ, this again." "Hey, Byron, why don't you tell us the one about how you fucking shut and dealt the cards? I don't think I've ever heard that one."

1. JRRY ~NGIUlO Crime: Being the head of the Boston Mafia The early seventies were kind of a crappy time to be a mobster. The Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, had just been passed, which essentially says that if you're part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, you can be held accountable without being convicted of a specific crime.

This was particularly grating

to Angiulo, who was already facing stiff competition from Irish mob boss James "Wh itey" Bulger. After the district attorney obtained a warrant to bug Angiulo, it soon became apparent that Angiulo was very, very lucky to have lasted this long. Here's an honest-to-God partial transcript of his (courtadmissible) conversation with his consigliere, Larry Zanni no:

JA: Our argument is we're ILLEGITIMATE businesses. LZ: We're shylocks. JA: We're shylocks. LZ: Yeah.

JA: We're fuckin' bookmakers. LZ: Bookmakers. JA: We're selling marijuana. LZ: We're not infiltrating. JA: We're, we're, we're illega l here, illegal there. Arsonists. We're every fuckin' thing . LZ: Pimps, prostitutes. Needless to say, he got a swift, federal kick in the ass, but was released in 2007. We like to think that was for his own protection, as he probably had a habit of exclaiming "I hope nobody stabs me! " whenever he was in the

shower.
