To Dan Malleck,

    I would be glad to give a paper dealing with bootlegging in the 
1920s.  I have been studying the actual economics of bootlegging and 
also on a comparison of the relationship between politics and bootlegging.

    With regard to the economics of bootlegging: through a bureaucratic 
error by the IRS, I was given complete access  to the raw investigative 
files of the IRS in the investigation of Al Capone's income tax.  From 
those files, I can present a paper demonstrating that Capone was NOT the 
BOSS of a bootlegging enterprise in Chicago.  But the focus of the paper 
would be to show what his real relationship was to bootlegging and to 
explain how bootlegging in other cities also did not have bosses.

    A second paper would compare the economic structure and politics of 
bootlegging in Chicago, Milwaukee, and one other city.
