...Crowd. Like many other show folk in Hollywood, Lana liked to run with the hoodlum crowd that sprouted into semi-respectability in moviedom after World War II. High up in the crowd was a runty gambler named Mickey Cohen. To the movie folk, gum-chomping Mick typified a real-life heavy out of their own films; for the Mick to invite a star to his table in a swank joint seemed as thrilling for the guest as it would be if a rubberneck tourist were asked to drink with Lana Turner. The Mick and his crowd just loved...

She called Mickey Cohen, who took Johnny Stompanato's death as a personal affront. Cohen's hoods raided Johnny's expensive Los Angeles apartment, found the letters.

The place was full of poker patsies, and Yardley put to profitable use the carefully calculated rules that make his book a primer for all serious players. A sampling...
With such swaggering cynicism Broadway Pro Darren (The Rainmaker) McGavin, 34, last week treated a New York audience to the second of a 39-show series of half-hour programs based on the sadistic, satyric, free-lance detective created by Mickey ("I'm not an author, I'm a writer") Spillane. Soon to be shown by 122 stations, the series entangles Hammer with every evil from white slavery to the wayward son of a chambermaid.
