There has never been much point in deploring a gangster's rise; it's his demise that we fear - the notion that the American go-getter must inevitably be gotten. "Mother of Mercy, is this...
...perhaps ironically, American Gangster, Steve represents an improvement on gangster myth. In truth, crime kingpins tend to lead long lives, interrupted by a little jail time (Frank's life sentence was commuted to 15 years). It is also improved by the fact that Crowe's bumptious character comes to enjoy the man's company, even becoming his attorney when he leaves law enforcement.

...Group (PSG) annual Samhain ritual at MIT Chapel on Sunday night. The Samhain ritual celebrates the Celtic New Year by commemorating the dead while celebrating new life. Though Samhain is a pagan ritual, attendees were not all strict pagans. “I really like paganism and I enjoy hanging out with pagans. My own religion is something I make up myself out of many things,” says participant Jonas Roy, a 23-year-old Boston resident. Others were more dedicated to the cause: Natalia N.
