Northwestern: Totally Mobbed Up

I've just started reading Supermob by Gus Russo, about a cabal of mob-connected money men who rose from Maxwell Street and Lawndale to become the biggest silent power players in Hollywood. And as I read, I'm noticing some suspiciously familiar names from my NU days.

Like Annenberg, named for the family of TV Guide founder Walter Annenberg ... whose father Moe ran a nationwide racing wire service tied in with Al Capone's bookies.

Or Crown -- Rebecca Crown was the wife of Henry Crown, a major businessman tied to both the mob and any number of corrupt politicians.

Nice to know our beloved alma mater runs, at least in part, on what was once the spoils of graft and organized crime. (=
