内容简介：
COP: “Buddy, I think this is a whorehouse.”
BUDDY CIANCI: “Now I know why they made you a detective.”
Welcome to Providence, Rhode Island, where corruption is
entertainment and Mayor Buddy Cianci presided over the
longest-running lounge act in American politics. In The Prince of
Providence, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Mike Stanton tells a
classic story of wiseguys, feds, and politicians on a carousel of
crime and redemption.
Buddy Cianci was part urban visionary, part Tony Soprano—a flawed
political genius in the mold of Huey Long and James Michael Curley.
His lust for power cost him his marriage, his family, and close
friendships. Yet he also revitalized the city of Providence, where
ethnic factions jostle with old-moneyed New Englanders and
black-clad artists from the Rhode Island School of Design rub
shoulders with scam artists from City Hall.
For nearly a quarter of a century, Cianci dominated this uneasy
melting pot. During his first administration, twenty-two political
insiders were convicted of corruption. In 1984, Cianci resigned
after pleading guilty to felony assault, for torturing a man he
suspected of sleeping with his estranged wife. In 1990, in a
remarkable comeback, Cianci was elected mayor once again; he went
on to win national acclaim for transforming a dying industrial city
into a trendy arts and tourism mecca.
But in 2001, a federal corruption probe dubbed Operation Plunder
Dome threatened to bring the curtain down on Cianci once and for
all.
Mike Stanton takes readers on a remarkable journey through the
underside of city life, into the bizarre world of the mayor and his
supporting cast, including:
· “Buckles” Melise, the city official in charge of vermin
control, who bought Providence twice as much rat poison as the city
of Cleveland, which was at the time four times as large, and wound
up increasing Providence’s rat population. During a garbage strike,
Buckles sledgehammered one city employee and stuck his thumb in
another’s eye. Cianci would later describe this as “great public
policy.”
· Anthony “the Saint” St. Laurent, a major Rhode Island bookmaker
and loan shark, who tried to avoid prison by citing his medical
need for forty bowel irrigations a day, thus earning himself the
nickname “Public Enema Number One.”
· Dennis Aiken, a celebrated FBI agent and public corruption
expert, who asked to be sent to “the Louisiana of the North,” where
he enlisted an undercover businessman to expose the corrupt secrets
of Cianci’s City Hall.
The Prince of Providence is a colorful and engrossing account of
one of the most tragicomic figures in modern American life—and the
city he transformed.
