...Accountant. Dino Paternostro, a Corleone native who has written several books on the Mafia, said Provenzano has succeeded in returning the Mafia to a state of normalization: "Now we come to the point where people start saying the Mafia isn't really a problem - or doesn't even exist." Just down the block, 76-year-old retired railroad worker Mario Governari says just that. "No, no!," he exclaims, waving off the question with his hand. "There's no Mafia in Corleone any more.

But the question would not sound strange to Elizabeth herself. She has been grappling with it her whole life. And, in her implacable way, answering it because, after all, there she still is, waving and smiling, granting knighthoods, opening hospitals...
...Much of the letter recounts Rowley's efforts to convince FBI headquarters to pursue a search warrant of Moussaoui's computer. The FBI maintained that probable cause did not exist and that a warrant would not be approved by the U.S. Attorney. Rowley argues forcefully that a warrant was indeed appropriate, citing French intelligence reports given to the bureau that linked Moussaoui with radical Islamic causes...
