 Thirty-five years ago, I lived in a world not known by many. That very year,  Francis Ford Coppola  (qv) _Godfather, The (1972)_ (qv) hit the big screen. In allowing the movie fans the vista to that secret Mob life, the American public developed an enormous fascination with the Mafia genre. It was at that same time, the world of organized crime began to change forever. Those changes were brought about by many factors, partially, the end of the Viet Nam war, Watergate, Roe vs. Wade, the women s movement, the sexual revolution, the voracious appetite by Americans for recreational drugs and maybe even the loss of innocence for Americans... revealing that our President, Richard Nixon, was actually terribly corrupt. Ergo, I could safely say, 1972 was a pivotal year in relation to massive social change in America. THE SINATRA CLUB: In the early 1970 s, I was assigned to the infamous, Columbo Crime family. My father, Frank Polisi, and my uncle, Tony Polisi, were life-long friends of the Cataldo family dating back to the 1920 s. In 1968, Dominic Cataldo, a Columbo hit man (later to become a full-fledged Mafia button-man) became my mentor. Dominic was 32, I was a brash and gutsy 23. We became close friends, crime partners, and fellow drug dealers. Cataldo was my main partner in the "Sinatra Club", until early 1972, when  John Gotti  (qv) returned from prison. This was a social club that Cataldo and I established in 1971, (later partnering up with John Gotti) to create a safe environment for up and coming New York Mobsters. This film will not only entertain the movie audience, but in my opinion, it will establish a piece of history as the beginning of the end of what the public knew as the American Mafia. Actually, it was John Gotti who almost single-handedly changed Italian organized crime forever by becoming a "Mafia Mob Star" through his insatiable need for public stardom.
