SUMMARY:Sam Giancana - Master Of The Mob\, Murderer Of JFK?
DESCRIPTION:Forget Al Capone. \nCapone ran the Chicago Outfit brutally and very publicly for just a couple of years before being sent to prison on income tax charges. Tony Accordo and Paul Rccca ran the Outfit until 1957 when they turned over day to day control to Sam “Momo” Giancana. \nMuch More Powerful Than Capone!\nSam Giancana would rise to a position much\, much more powerful than the thuggish Al Capone ever dreamt of achieving! \nGiancana feuded with Robert Kennedy as he became the CIA liaison with the Mob. Unlike Capone\,Sam Giancana vastly expanded the operations of the Chicago Outfit into Las Vegas\, into California and became the most powerful Mafia leader in the country. He was connected to JFK through Peter Lawford and Frank Sinatra. According to a number of histories\, he and John F. Kennedy actually shared a mistress in common! Some believe Sam Giancana was behind the murder of JFK. And just before he was set to testify under oath before the Senate\, Sam Giancana was murdered in his home. A home that was under FBI surveillance and “guarded by the police! \nCuba\nWhen the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) planned to assassinate Fidel Castro\, the Agency called on mobster Sam Giancana to oversee the unlawful murder of the Cuban dictator. While the complicated and illegal plot ultimately failed\, the implications were clear.  The CIA was working closely with Sam Giancana – the most important and influential Mafia leader in the USA. J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI only learned of the plot because they were tapping Giancana’s phone and watching him 24/7! \n  \nWomen\nAfter he was widowed\, Sam Giancana carried on a very public romance with super popular\, squeaky clean\, all-American girl Phyllis McGuire. As one of the wholesome McGuire Sisters\, Phyllis projected a sprightly\, virginal image. In reality\, her torrid affair with the leader of the Chicago Syndicate was being listened to and tape recorded in real time by the FBI!  Before his intense relationship with McGuire\, he consorted with Marilyn Monroe (some say he caused her death) and other famous women.  One of the most fascinating stories involves his relationship with Judith Campbell – who also a mistress of John F. Kennedy!  She claimed that she arranged meetings and carried messages between the two! The stories are perplexing and fascinating.

SUMMARY:The Democratic Convention Of 1968
DESCRIPTION:1968 Democratic Convention\n \n“The Whole World Is Watching!  The Whole World Is Watching!  \nSo went the chant from thousands of protesters caught in a pitched battle with the police on the streets of Chicago is the Democratic Party sought to nominate a candidate for president. The Democratic convention riots of 1967 were turning point in history of politics and in the history of Chicago. Never before had live television cameras cameras captured what was later termed a “police riot” live on television.  While the battle of Chicago raged wildly on Michigan Avenue\, the tension erupted in violence and anger in the convention hall itself. \nAs the nation watched  in disbelief\, convention delegates and network reporters were beaten\, delegate credentials were forged in an effort to pack the galleries with Chicago city employees\, and the mayor of the city\, Richard J Daley\, screamed an obscenity at a Jewish United States senator on live television. \nIn this exciting multimedia presentation\, we will explore the roots of the events that culminated in the riots of 1968. From growing public frustration to the stalemate in Vietnam in the wake of the Tet Offensive to the insurgent campaign of Sen. Eugene McCarthy\, politics in America were thrown into turmoil. And just as the country seemed more and more to be spinning out of control\, we were hit with the shock of the public assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Sen. Robert F.  Kennedy. All of these events and many more make for an exceptionally exciting\, thought-provoking\, and mesmerizing presentation. \nPLEASE NOTE: There is a small fee to attend this presentation if you are not a member of the Lake Forest Senior Center. Please contact the venue for more information!
