...course, William Marcy ("Boss") Tweed, the coarse, corpulent crook who grafted incredibly on New York City while he was Grand Sachem. He died in jail 50 years ago. Beside the doings of Tweed, the political peccadilloes of other 'Tammany 'members are dwarfed. Tweed and his "ring," controlling the city's Board of Supervisors, cleared tens of millions in letting contracts, selling permits and offices, contributing for the city to "charities." A plasterer named Garvey once got $133,187.20 for two days' work from the City. How much Tweed took back no one knows, but he gave...
