The battle to defeat the pandemic was not just a medical issue. It was compounded by the biggest, nastiest and dangerous political divide in American history. The attempt by Donald Trump to deny democracy and award himself the election win was only symptomatic of an even broader division in America. Whilst humanity deals with the virus in a variety of ways, militias and civil rights groups disrupt all attempts to contain the pandemic. All spreading the new highly infectious strains. Families discussing this get fearful and irate. That is the environment in which the new president has to enforce lockdowns and social distancing to save the country. Militias sent two hundred thousand members to march, disobeying orders; at the same time, a new strain raced through the country, killing people within three days. Infections and deaths quadrupled. The hatred between opposing sides grows exponentially. Can Joe Biden defeat the protestors without resorting to Tiananmen Square methods?

Morris "Moe" Dalitz was America's most secretive and most successful mobster. As a major architect of the United States' national crime syndicate, Dalitz was active in various fields of organized crime from 1918 until his death, all while spinning a web of myth and mock-respectability around himself so dense that decades after his demise, most mistake the legend for reality. From Prohibition-era bootlegging to the Reagan years, no other individual was present at so many pivotal events in gangland history. It's impossible to fully understand the modern Mob without knowing about Dalitz, his career, and the cunning publicity campaign that transformed his image from thug to that of a revered philanthropist.
