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.

My apologies for the lack of clarity in the previous posting.

The ADHS already has three sessions set for next year's AHA session, and the focus of these is alcohol related studies. We would like to expand them to include studies on drugs.

We have a session on alcohol, public spaces and writers, to which we would like to add a paper that looks at drugs, public spaces and writers, if possible.

We are looking for an additional session that has drugs or mix of drug and alcohol studies as its focus. As you can see the session is very open. We would like to have suggestions either of a full session, or of papers that we could put into a session.

Given the response we have had, it is a good illustration of the need to open up the call for papers for future AHAs. I am not certain if this process can happen at this point.

For further information, please contact Scott Haine at [log in to unmask]. He coordinates the sessions for the AHA.
