This is it - the penultimate episode of Amerikan Tabloid. See the crows alight on telephone poles like emissaries from the underworld as we follow this broken road into the dark heart of post-war Americana, ash in our eyes and smoke in our lungs. First, we dig on shakedown artist, bagman, fixer and private investigator Robert Maheu, tracking his work for the CIA and Howard Hughes, before dropping in on the Kennedys as Bobby launches a crusade against organized crime and Jack contemplates a presidential run. We then look at the mafia war of the 1950s and the Appalachin farce that humiliated J. Edgar Hoover. Shortly afterwards, the Cuban Revolution leaves American mobsters and businessmen alike out of pocket and looking for payback. Meanwhile, some geek with delusions of grandeur splits from the US Marines and fetches up in the USSR. I hear they call him Lee Harvey Oswald. This one goes well with neat Scotch and a fresh pack of Lucky Strikes. You do not want to miss it, so get some.
