Uhhh...."Religion is the opiate of the masses"....you can look it up!
As Victor Bravo would say (or is it G. Gordon Liddy?), that "junk reading" crap is pure Bravo Sierra.
**DISCLAIMER** Although I haven't yet read the book, it is high time someone like H.C. profiled these 2 viscious bastard's deeds.
All the ingredients are there for success - Carr's style, which comes off as enlightened smart-ass, makes a good read to begin with. His research sources (Herald and other newspaper morgues, FBI documents (FOIA is your friend!), photo archives (see his "x-files" and "Whitey Watch" pages off his WRKO page! His years as a city beat reporter and columnist during these 2 Adam Henrys regimes would indicate to me that some of the juciest, best "stuff" couldn't be told in the book. And H.C. has good contacts in "This Thing of Ours" who lived thru the corrupt, murderous Bulger Years. Nothing like "being there", is there?
The Carr haters here are simply green (remember St. Pat's day is near - reserve those tables at Halitosis Hall!) with envy!
