I recently finished The Money and the Power, a look into the corrupt history of Las Vegas. It wasn't the best book to read in 35-minute spurts while working out, but it'd still be of interest to Craig, given its place in American history from Kefauver through the Kennedys; and Rostron, as Mormon money funding organized crime is a common theme. The Mormons and mobsters are described as getting along because they had in common business acumen, loyalty, and unquestioning obedience.
