    Organized Crime: Source of Italy's Economic Strength

    Dom Serafini(August 20, 2008)
    The publisher of an English-language Italian-American publication, for which I write a regular column, rejected the following article because it "doesn't promote a positive image of Italy." Because of past discrimination, American-born Italians have problems facing issues related to organized crime. To me it's similar to the Japanese refusing to face their war crimes –– the issue still lingers on. In my view, our community is so strong and well respected as to be able to face the good and the bad with confidence.
