...bigger than U.S. Steel...

"Hyman Roth: If I could only live to see it, to be there with you. What I wouldn't give for twenty more years! Here we are, protected, free to make our profits without Kefauver, the goddamn Justice Department and the F.B.I. ninety miles away, in partnership with a friendly government. Ninety miles! It's nothing! Just one small step, looking for a man who wants to be President of the United States, and having the cash to make it possible. Michael, we're bigger than U.S. Steel."

As much as some of us have anticipated inevitable fallout of United Stated as the "World Industrial and political power" - it is still sadden me indefinitely to witness its demise...

As for opening quote from Godfather goes - I always wondered - was it said about mafia or corporations? Pardon me - I am getting older, I forgot it is THE SAME.

Sad, so sad...
