  11. Prologue 1930. Prohibition has transformed Chicago into a city at War. Rival gangs compete for control of the city’s billion dollar empire of illegal alcohol, enforcing their will with the hand grenade and tommy gun. It is the time of the Ganglords. It is the time of Al Capone.

  18. Discussion Questions • 1.  The media nicknamed Eliot Ness's crew "The Untouchables." Why did the media use this name? What is meant by "untouchable"? • 2.  Many people in the 1920s felt that Prohibition was not a "good" law, and that it was somehow OK to violate it. Do people have the right to violate laws they find "bad?" Who gets to decide if a law is "good" or "bad?" • 3. From Al Capone to John Gotti to The Godfather, Americans are fascinated with organized crime figures. What is it about organized crime and mobsters that Americans find so enthralling? • 4. Make a chart comparing the personality traits of an effective law enforcement agent and a strong figure in organized crime. You may use Ness and Capone specifically, or the general characteristics of these "types". What do they have in common? What separates them?
