Local historian Clarence Goodman discusses Al Capone, the mob and their ties to Chicago's history. R

Though crime - organized and otherwise - in Chicago goes back to the city's earliest days, one figure transcends...everything; Al Capone. His legend looms long, but his time here was brief. Moreover, he was merely the beginning of the fraternity that was Chicago's "Outfit."
