I love the cover of the Italian edition of my book, Mickey Cohen. They’re calling it Il Gangster ! The back jacket translates to “more famous than a movie star, more powerful than the law, the most feared criminal in America.”
La vera storia di Mickey Cohen
Il Criminale dei criminali
Here is early info on the dangerous pair, whom I believe are most likely programmed “Manchurian Candidates.” And I can’t forget the US military shrink, another devout Muslim (and patron of strip clubs), who annilated fellow soldiers in the lethal attack at Fort Hood in 2009.
It’s something that the Russians alerted the FBI a few years ago about the elder brother Tamerlan. He acted as Mr. Mom while his American wife, a convert to extreme Islam whose innocence is now being questioned, worked worked double-shifts as a home health worker — giving him time to be inspired by the online al Qaeda magazine, Inspire). I wonder what his FBI file says? Also, it’s still unclear to me why Sean Collier, the MIT law officer, was murdered. What’s the story behind that? There is so much to know. Do we really have to get stories from the National Enquirer?
This kid knows how to make things HAPPEN. At 17, he’s made a reported $30 million & as part of the deal has a full time job at the London branch of Yahoo — while continuing his education. Meet self-taught code writer Nick D’Aloisio, creator of Summly. He talks about his extracurricular work, homework and how he made contacts to get his product noticed in this interview with Charlie Rose.
And who’s the featured macher??? MICKEY COHEN!!!
Historically speaking, they’re chowing down with him at EATER LA. Since he really understood L.A. real estate, particularly when it came to the lines between the city and county (and, yes, HE DID KNOW HIS MODEST BRENTWOOD HOUSE , which sold in 2011 for $3mil+, WAS IN CITY TERRITORY – the LAPD was juiced, too, you know), you can see more whale action at CURBED L.A.
Note: The Stratford Coffee shop, signage and all, does still exist on South Rampart Blvd., near the building they show at Curbed L.A. It’s on the east side of the street, look for the sign on a 1920′s brown-brick, multi-story strip mall.
HAVE A WHALE OF A WEEK!
