He never looks frightened or abashed, just focused on getting the goods. When he lays out the three declarations of guilt he wants Nixon to make on Watergate, he concludes, "And I think unless you say it, you're gonna be haunted...

...deluxe accommodations, we told the concierge of our night’s plans, and she replied, “Vinnie, stay away from That Murdering Place!” But our concierge be damned! Four dollar pitchers were too appealing to deter us from the dive bar that was actually the scene of a homicide two years ago. Chiappini had expected to introduce Bilotti to Bridgewater’s high-class escorts and sophisticated tycoons—or at least high school randos. Yet we only found old-fashioned randos, belting out “Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road?...
