VINSETTI was something of a litterateur. He kept a big diary, which, to the disappointment of Chief Kelly, and to the infinite relief of at least one person, contained no vital information.
On a visit to Hollywood he had made this illuminating comment: The gangster's life has no continuity. It is a series of short stories written round the same funeral parlour.New characters appear on the stage and vanish, almost before they have established their identity.The story of gangland is punctuated with shootings by machine--guns, and most of the punctuation marks are full stops.
