To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the newspapers and the gossip columnists, when they wrote about him, called him “The Boss,” and his friends, associates and underlings, though they still called him Charlie or Charlie Lucky, thought of him as the boss. He continued to insist to everyone that he was the boss of nothing other than his own outfit, of no more importance in the Unione Siciliano than any other leader. But in spite of his protestations, the word in the underworld after the Chicago meeting invariably was “Charlie Lu...cky wants this” or “Charlie Lucky says do that.” And when Charlie Lucky wanted something, he got it without question. The only outward sign that things had changed for him was a change of address. He had heard that the penthouse apartment atop the St. Moritz Hotel was available and he decided to lease it. But when Walter Winchell heard the rumors, he advised the hotel’s management that if it accepted Luciano as a resident, not only would Winchell move out but he would devote his column in the Daily Mirror to explaining why and to excoriating the hotel as a gangster hangout.
