Tom D’Alesandro was personally one of the most venal men ever to hold high office in a state and city renowned for political corruption. His administration was considered so openly corrupt as to be a scandal even by contemporary (circa 1950) standards. He was personally an oily, ignorant, smarmy little man. His daughter has many of his traits and mannerisms.
