Every one of the gambling indictments was obtained through wiretaps authorized under Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. Justice Department officials were quick to cite that fact. The officials regard the New Jersey crackdown as the first skirmish in a full-scale war on the Mafia. Said Will Wilson, chief of the department's Criminal Division: "Our overall goal is to demolish the rackets.

To represent all the diverse elements of much more populous societies-diversity is one essential of greatness-the city must now have a population of several millions. Cincinnati and Phoenix, to cite two typical American provincial cities, may be agreeable places to live in, but they are simply not large enough to contain, as does New York, the wide variety of types and temperaments that form the American character. Americans and foreigners alike call New York the least American of cities. In fact...
