When they were married two years later, he was not yet a made man in the powerful Gambino crime family. Louie was a hairdresser who dabbled in petty thievery.

And over the years, she was willing to forgive her husband for anything: his violent rages, his frequent absences, his shady associates, and the blood on his hands. For twentyfour years Lynda Milito remained loyal to this charming and dangerous criminal -- her childrens father and close friend of crime boss John Gotti and underboss Sammy the Bull Gravano. But in 1988, Louie Milito disappeared, murdered by the very people he had always trusted to protect him. A crime story, a family story, a love story, Mafia Wife is the shockingly intimate, brutally honest tale of a survivor -- and of the life she lived in the dark bosom of the underworld.

Download or read book Unbroken written by Laura Hillenbrand and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

Download or read book Hatlo Inferno written by Jimmy Hatlo and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hatlo's Inferno is a satirical comic strip by cartoonist Jimmy Hatlo. It is based on Dante's Inferno or The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The Divine Comedy is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential works of world literature. It is certainly the greatest literaty work ever composed in the Italian Language. The Divine Comedy tells the story of Dante himself as he is led through Hell itself before finally reaching Heaven. Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. It is based on a paradox in the Christian religion. According to Christian beliefs, in order to get into Heaven one must believe in and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. However, what about those people who were born and who died before Jesus Christ was even born? Why cannot those people ever get into Heaven? Do they Go to Hell? Or do they stay in some in-between place such as Limbo or Purgatory or do their souls even exist? Dante meets the Roman Poet Virgil who was born in 70 BC and died in 19 BC and thus had died just before Jesus Christ had been born. Because Virgil never met Jesus Christ, he cannot get into Heaven. However, Virgil can walk through Hell without being punished as he was a man without fault. Therefore, Virgil appears as Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory. The two of them begin their journey by going through the Gate to Hell which has the famous words "Abandon All Hope All Ye Who Enter Here." They go through the different levels or Circles of Hell, witnessing each man who sinned and the punishment he is condemned to receive forever. Each sin's punishment in Inferno is a symbolic instance of poetic justice. For example, fortune-tellers are required to walk with their heads on backwards, unable to see what is ahead, because that was what they had tried to do in real life. In Hatlo's Inferno, taking this idea of punishing people in Hell by doing to them what they did to others during their lives, Hatlo points out the punishment for those such as those who mow their lawns early in the morning thereby waking up the neighbors. A nurse who spent her career sticking needles into her patients is forever stuck with needles by the demons in Hell. Hatlo launched The Hatlo Inferno as an accompaniment to They'll Do It Every Time in 1951. The panel, which ran until 1958, took a sadistically humorous look at the comeuppance of various malefactors in a cartoonish depicted hell, with Satan's henchmen standing in for Hatlo's usual Greek chorus of commentators.
