The mob's greedy hand -- in the White House?

My Life in the Mafia
by Vincent Teresa with Thomas C. Renner (1973)

Vincent Teresa: "When you come right down to it, there isn't anything the mob doesn't touch. They reach congressmen just as quickly as they reach state houses and police precincts. They corrupt businessmen and unions, you name it. And unless the public smartens up, unless the news media keep pounding away at the threat the people face from the mob, one day it's going to reach it's greedy hand into the White House.

Anyone who thinks that can't happen is a damned fool." [page 345]
