than any of the others in this collection. They represent a merging
of academic interest with a commitment to environmental activism
which occu"ed after several years of research conducted under the
wing of the New York State Senate Select Committee on Crime created
in the 1960s to investigate organized crime. I had the rare
opportunity to work with this committee under the direction of
counsel leremiah McKenna at the time attention was focused on
organized criminals moved into the hazardous waste disposal
industry. Much of my data came rom committee investigations,
hearings and reports. In addition, contacts outside of New York
were eased by this affiliation. My long association with the
committee inexorably led to an integration of research findings
with an involvement in the formation of public policy. Part W
presents another usually hidden dimension of organized crime; its
mesh with transnational political movements, intelligence services,
and political murder. Two essays dealing with assassinations a
decade apart form this section. One was the murder of Carlo Tresca
in 1943, the other of Jesus de Galindez in 1956. The former reveals
the inte"elationships between Italian American organized criminals
and the Fascist party, the latter the netherworld of professional
criminals, private detectives, intelligence operatives, working
together in the interests of dictator Rafael Trujillo of the
Dominican Republic."
