...Carter with a ringing declaration: "I shall work for his nomination in 1976 with all my strength!" The audience responded with applause and cheers at last week's Lincoln Day Dinner held in the Laurel County High School gym at London, Ky. As he rose to speak, the object of the Republicans' affection smiled modestly and let the pledge and its portents go by without comment.

What they object to is its characterization. The federal government, newspapers, and most organized crime watchers have viewed "the Mafia" as a formally organized bureaucratic structure with the ability to design and construct rational, highly efficient programs for amassing illicit wealth.
