Back in the 60s I loved "The Untouchables". For me Robert Stack will forever be Elliot Ness, not Kevin Cosner.

When Bugs Moran was told that his men had been machine gunned in broad daylight in the garage, he said: "Only Capone kills like that."

Having that sort of reputation is kind of priceless. People fear you and will not cross you. You stand alone, unchallenged.

Kind of like the IRS. Which, take note, was the only outfit in town that was tougher and meaner and more relentless than Al Capone.

Think about it.

while this was def a Capone “operation”...and he gave his ok on it, this was the work of Frank Nitti and Jack Mcgurn. In turns of organized crime hits, this was as spectacular and brazen as it gets. Even Lucky Luciano was afraid of going to Chicago. “A real GD crazy place” he called it.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre ...

This may be a bit off topic but the right thread to ask this question.

In a long detailed explanation of St Valentine and the history of St. Valentine's Day, Saul Alinsky's name was referenced.

The article added color by referring to occurrences related to Feb 14th. The reference to Saul Alinsky appeared in this context.

The St. Valentine's Day Massacre occurred in 1929 during the Prohibition era. Al Capone's Chicago mob murdered seven members of Bugs Moran's Irish gang.

Accompanying Al Capone's hitmen as they terrorized neighborhoods was the young Saul Alinsky, who later adapted their techniques into the political tactic of community organizing.

I am going to find out more but after seeing this post, I decided to ask her first.

Thanks in advance for any information you can share.

Also the birthday of Vic Morrow,who had appeared in two episodes of this show.

He was one of the best actors ever. I love him.
