"AL CAPONE
January 17, 1899 - January 25, 1947
"He was the classic mob boss: unrelenting and ingenious in his work, ruthless towards his rivals and foes, big-hearted and gregarious in his public persona. Capone ruled Chicago crime and flexed his criminal muscle in cities across the country for more than a decade."
