Even a multimillionaire needs a little luck. Ohio Sportsman John W. Galbreath has had his share: his Pittsburgh Pirates won a World Series in 1960 when Bill Mazeroski hit a home run in the last inning of the last game, and his Chateaugay won the 1963 Kentucky Derby at long-shot odds of 9-1. Galbreath's luck seemed to sour after he paid $1,350,000 to lease the undefeated Italian stallion Ribot for stud duty, improving the stock at his farm in Lexington, Ky.

Valachi was asked to write his life's story on the chance that he might recall some forgotten tidbits of information. No luck. Rather than junk the monumental tome, federal officials decided to waive the rule against federal prisoners writing about their crime careers in the hope that Valachi's disclosures will alert the public to the syndicate's threat...
