The formation of gangsters and gangs can ultimately be traced back to the 18th Amendment, putting into affect prohibition. It provided an excuse and the means of making money through the manipulation of the poor, the rich, and everyone inbetween. Gangsters thrived off of the fear that they caused. Gangsters usually kept to themselves and relied on secrecy and mystery to protect themselves. For this reason I decided I wanted to go into more depth and unravel the mysteries of Gangsters.

Al Capone was perhaps the most notorious gangster in history. He was born in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on January 17, 1899. His parents were itailian immigrants. He was inducted into the Five Points Gang as a child and eventaully grew up to be a major gang leader in Chicago. Capone was seen by many as a heartless brute that stole and murdered, but to a few he was seen as a modern Robinhood due to several donations made to charities with the stolen money. He died on January 25, 1947 from a stroke.

Go here for more info on Capone.

He was born August 6, 1902 in New York City, New York. His original name was Arthur Flegenheimer, but was given the name Dutch Schultz after he committed his first crime at 17 years old. He was a very successful saloon owner in New York. His methods were greatly questioned however. He even tortured a man who refused to buy some of his beer. This harsh attitude would cost Schultz. After several skirmishes with rival gangs and several years in court, Schultz was gunned down in a restuarant in Newark, on October 23, 1935.

Go here for more info on Schultz.

He was born in Sicily on November 24, 1897. His original name was Salvatore Luciana. As a child he moved to New York City, however, he didn't know English making his School days difficult. Despite this obsticle, he was able to get by, by beating up kids who didn't pay him enough for their protection. He grew up to become one of the "Big Six" bootleggers. He gained the name Lucky when he was kidnapped by a rival gang, beaten and stabbed, then left on the beach to die. He police officer found him and took him to the hospital. He finally died of a heart attack in Napels, Italy on January 26, 1962 after he was sent home after being arrested for several years.

The Beatles were not only a musical phenomenon they were a cultural one as well. From their more than humble roots in working class Liverpool to becoming the most recognizable people on the face of the earth the journey took only a matter of years.
Before fame found them they were John, Paul, George, Stuart and Pete otherwise known as the Quarryman then the Silver Beatles and finally The Beatles.
Stuart Sutcliffe was a friend of John's and played bass, he left the band in 1961 to pursue an art degree. Paul was forced to assume the duty of bass guitarist. Pete Best joined in 1960 to fill a much needed spot as drummer. Best lasted until 1962 when personality conflicts with the others precipitated his replacement with Ringo Starr. In 1961 they got the attention of Brian Epstein, a record store owner, who practically conned the group into letting him manage them. It was a good decision on their part. After having been rejected by almost every label in Britain, Epstein's perseverance and sheer enthusiasm landed them a recording contract with a small subsidiary of EMI Records called Parlophone. George Martin the head of the studio personally mentored the group towards recording success.
Although they had some luke warm attention from the single release of "Love Me Do" / "PS I Love You" their real success came with "Please Please Me" their debut album. (See list of albums page)

The recording sat on top of the British music chart for 30 consecutive weeks instantly making the Beatles the most popular rock & roll band ever in the UK and garnering them global recognition.(See list of UK releases page)
By 1963 their music was a smash sensation in the US but not only the music came across the pond. A feverished desire for anything and everything British was storming America. A new musical reality went hand in hand with changing clothing styles, hair styles and most importantly attitudes. Swinging London was in control and it empowered the youth movement to demand change. So below is a brief chronological history of that famous journey.

1956 Liverpool, John Lennon and some school friends form a High school band named the Quarrymen, named after the school, Quarry Bank High School.
1957 Paul McCartney is asked by Lennon to join and soon brings in a much younger friend George Harrison. Harrison was 14 years old at the time.
1960 Stuart Sutcliffe joins the group as bassist. The name is changed to the Silver Beatles and then amended to The Beatles. Pete Best joins as drummer. The group tours smaller clubs in Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool.
1961 Satcliffe leaves to pursue art school and McCartney has to take over on the bass.
1961 Brian Epstein becomes the manager and promoter of the band and manages through pure persistence to get them a record deal with George Martin of Parlophone Records a subsidiary of EMI Records.
1962 The group cuts a demo and two singles (Love Me Do / PS I Love You)with George Martin and Parlophone the songs made it into the top 20
1962 Pete Best is asked to leave the band and Ringo Starr is added as drummer.
August 23, 1962 John Lennon marries Cynthia Powell
1963 The first album was released (Please Please Me)and hit the charts at #1, the Beatles were a success in Britain. Epstein convinces them to dress up a bit while performing thus creating "the Beatles" look
"Please Please Me" and the next album "With The Beatles" both broke UK records by each selling over a million copies
Beatlemania is coined as the term that describes how young fans react to the group and their new sound. It hits the US and the single "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is released in the US two weeks before the band arrives in the States.
1964 the Beatles arrive to massive fan hysteria, they appear on the Ed Sullivan show and do a concert in Washington DC before returning to New York to play Carnegie Hall and do Ed Sullivan again.
In less than 2 months they have 12 songs in the US top 100 including the #1 through #5 slots simultaneously.
1964 is a busy year. The Beatles tour exhaustively performing 32 concerts internationally and 30 more in the US. They also managed to release 4 new albums (Meet The Beatles, The Beatles Second Album, A Hard Days Night and Something New) as well as a movie tie in to "A Hard Days Night". (click here for a list of Beatles movies)
1965 Was another touring year for the group with 11 shows in the US during August alone. they also managed five more US album releases (The Beatles '65, The Early Beatles, The Beatles VI, Help and Rubber Soul). Help and Rubber Soul contained all new music and showcased the band's growing maturity and distinct musical styles. The Group's touring years lasted through 1966 and would eventually span some 1400 international and UK appearances. The schedule was so demanding and the quality of the sound specially at the outdoor events was so poor that they decided to give up touring and become more of a studio recording group.
February 11, 1965 Ringo Starr marries Maureen Cox.
1966The Band releases two new albums, (Yesterday and Today and Revolver). The cover art for Yesterday and Today is so controversial that Capital Records pulls it from shelves in the US and pasted a new cover over it. Two ultra-short promotional films came out of Revolver. Made for "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" the films are now considered the first music videos.
January 21, 1966 George Harrison marries Pattie Boyd
August 29, 1966 The Beatles play their last concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
1967Focusing all of their effort on recording, and after 700 hours in the studio, Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band was hailed as a revolutionary album. It's complexity and creativity forever raised the bar for all future recording artists.
Beatles song lyrics were becoming so involved and complex that University level classes in literature started analyzing them. Magical Mystery Tour was also released this year to coincide with a movie by the same name. The album was well received the movie however was both a critical and commercial flop.
1967 Brian Epstein dies of a questionable overdose, which many believe to be a suicide. This devastates the Beatles and leaves them without a rudder with which to steer their professional lives.
1968 "The Beatles"(The White Album) is released by Apple Records, the Beatles own recording label which Brian Epstein had set up for them. They are lost without Epstein's direction and they turn to India and Maharishi Mahash Yogi, a guru, for creative guidance. It is quickly discovered that he has other agendas and all but George Harrison leave India disillusioned.
March 12, 1969 Paul McCartney marries Linda Eastman
March 20, 1969 John Lennon marries Yoko Ono (second marriage)
1969 Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road and Hey Jude are recorded or released this year (Hey Jude is released in '69 in US). Much of Let It Be is recorded before Hey Jude this year but put aside due to artistic concerns about it. It was not released until the following year. Arguments between the band members was making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on collaborative efforts. The friction became so consuming that John was to have one side of the album for his songs while Paul would have the reverse side with creations from George and Ringo sprinkled in on both sides.
1970 Let It Be is finally given to Phil Spector for remixing and re orchestrating so that it can be released.
The Beatles can no longer work together. Paul is the first to publicly announce that they have broken up and the release of his first solo album. The other three Beatles would also release solo albums this year.
1970 -After Let It Be there was by some counts as many as a dozen unauthorized compilation albums released mostly by United and EMI. Apple Records did two compilation records, "1962 - 1966" (Red Album) and "1967 - 1970" (Blue Album) which are the only collections that the Beatles had input on and approved.
December 8, 1980 John Lennon is shot and killed by a deranged fan outside his New York townhouse, he was 40 years old
1988 The Beatles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the first year of their eligibility.
November 29, 2001 George Harrison succumbs to his battle with lung cancer.

There's little doubt what major economic events are shaping this first decade of the 21st century: a meltdown of the sub-prime home loan market, a crunch in credit, the collapse of some major financial institutions and corporations, rising joblessness--all playing out on an increasingly interconnected global stage. It's easy to imagine that today's turmoil surpasses the challenges of previous decades. But is it true? Beginning with the 1930s, we take a look at some of the major economic trends--the bad times and the good times--that have shaped the last seven decades.

The '30s
The 1929 stock market collapse is commonly credited with causing the Great Depression, but as devastating as that was for investors, it was just one signal that the Roaring Twenties were crashing to a halt. Twenties prosperity was built on a growing concentration of wealth at the top and an increasing reliance on credit to buy cars, radios and other new-fangled goods. Meanwhile, stagnation was setting in: Railway construction was falling, and declining auto sales caused downturns in iron and steel production.

When Franklin Roosevelt became president in 1933, more than a quarter of the labor force was jobless, and many others worked only part time. Farm prices were depressed, stock prices had dropped to about a fifth of their pre-crash level, consumer confidence and demand had plummeted, and manufacturing output dropped by about half. By March 1933, more than 5,000 banks failed, erasing the savings of millions of Americans.

FDR's New Deal was a far cry from Herbert Hoover's insistence on self-reliance and individualism. FDR launched public works projects that pumped money into the economy, put people to work building roads, schools and dams, and provided electricity to rural areas. And he created new regulations for banking, the stock market and other industries, with an eye on government benefits for working people. Among them: insurance for bank depositors and Social Security for the elderly and the disabled.

The '40s
At the end of the '30s, joblessness remained high and wages were still low, despite spending that doubled the federal deficit to $40 billion. But FDR was reluctant to further expand the public debt--until, that is, World War II demanded it.

It can be said that the Great Depression ended when demand for military supplies spurred massive new production and job creation. During the '40s, the U.S became the largest manufacturer of arms in the history of the world, building nearly 300,000 airplanes, nearly 400,000 pieces of artillery, 47 million tons of artillery ammunition, 44 billion rounds of small-arms ammo, 87,000 warships and 86,000 tanks. Workers' wages doubled, and the nation experienced a full employment economy (including a majority of women and many African Americans who previously had been denied access).

The GI Bill, passed in 1944, provided a path for millions of returning veterans to go to college, start businesses and buy homes. With money in their pockets and fresh confidence, they helped spark a consumer revolution. And while the 1947 Marshall Plan helped European nations regain their footing, it also created the conditions for expanded production and trade for U.S. goods. So did the creation of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

The '50s
As the Cold War with the Soviet Union deepened, American prosperity expanded. "Made in the USA" was the tag that consumers around the world wanted, whether it was cars or electronics, furniture or metals. American exports steadily increased, creating a huge trade surplus. Domestic consumption also rose, as did government revenues and government spending.

In fact, during President Dwight D. Eisenhower's two terms (1953-1961), government's share of GNP more than doubled to nearly 30 percent. While Eisenhower generally resisted large government programs and warned about the threat of a growing military-industrial complex, he backed the $26 billion Interstate Highway System, which helped states build a nationwide system of roads and sealed the bond between Americans and their automobiles.

President John F. Kennedy came into office promising a commitment to long-term growth. With the urging of economic advisors like John Kenneth Gailbraith, JFK pushed for massive federal spending, including expenditures for social welfare programs. It was a promise that President Lyndon Johnson pursued with his Great Society programs to end poverty when he succeeded JFK in 1963.

LBJ presided over an impressive economic boom that lasted through the '60s, spurred by a combination of tax cuts and increased federal spending to fund the widening war in Vietnam. It was the nation's longest period of uninterrupted economic expansion: GNP rose about 5 percent a year, median family income increased about a quarter, and unemployment never rose above 4 percent during the decade.

Not only did Johnson support civil rights for black Americans, he also supported Congress' passage of Medicare and Medicaid to provide health care for the poor and elderly. But by the decade's end, the nation was experiencing runaway inflation.

The '70s
President Richard Nixon struggled with high inflation, business slowdowns, rising unemployment and declining government revenues. The unexpected combination of slow economic growth and high inflation spawned a new term: stagflation. As the nation fell into a recession, Nixon froze wages and prices, cut some excise taxes, and took the U.S. off the gold standard in an effort to devalue the dollar and encourage exports.

The moves helped, but the positive impact was soon replaced by the shock of 1973's oil embargo, led by Saudi Arabia in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli war. Prices shot up and shortages led to long lines at gas stations and even rationing in some states. Americans struggled with this energy crisis, even after the embargo was lifted in 1974: Gas, home heating oil and many goods affected by high-priced oil all grew more costly.

The nation faced a second oil crisis in 1979, after the Iranian revolution led to supply cuts. In response, President Jimmy Carter proposed plans for cutting oil imports, reducing energy use and improving energy efficiency, but his ideas seemed to only further shake American confidence and a deepening sense of malaise.

The '80s
The first two years of this decade were defined by a painful recession. More than 12 million Americans (nearly 11 percent) were jobless, business bankruptcies rose by 50 percent, and business failures in 1982 reached the highest level since the Great Depression. Steel and other heavy industries, particularly in the Midwestern Rust Belt, struggled with competition from Japan and Germany, a decline in production, and the closing of factories. The nation experienced a seismic shift known as deindustrialization.

President Ronald Reagan challenged the belief that government should drive the solutions to the nation's economic problems. He stressed the benefits of a free market and a strong private sector, and supported a new climate of business deregulation, tax cutting, and decreased social spending. Still, overall government spending increased (particularly the defense budget) and the national debt ballooned.

Welcome to the World Wide Web. Not only did the internet become a brave new frontier for new business, it also spurred a dramatic shift in how existing companies gathered and used information. It allowed greater efficiency and profitability in marketing and finance, forced businesses to rethink the nature of their hierarchies, management styles and bureaucracies, and helped integrate the international economy.

And it spawned a booming New Economy with a strong growth rate, low unemployment and minimal inflation, one in which brash entrepreneurs launched companies that soon were competing successfully with some of the world's most venerable and profitable brands. That said, American wealth was increasingly concentrated in fewer hands, buoyed by substantial tax cuts in the '80s and the '90s that enabled the wealthiest Americans to hold on to a larger share of their income.
