For the record, and to be completely correct, this was a listing in the classified advertising section of the Chicago Tribune and I have an original copy. Unfortunately it's stored with boxes of other memorabilia at one of those storage place and it would take me ages to determine what box it's in.

Unlike the trials of the old-time mobsters, stories of which I only know from reading, I'm old enough to remember every incident when it happened on the Tribune timeline from this current generation on trial. I am completely captivated by everything surrounding this event...the indictments, the trial, the radio, television, newspaper, and internet accounts of the proceedings. Totally compelling. These are all guys from my neighborhood.

If you read the opening chapter of The Original Godfather, Roemer's book about Tony Accardo, he proffers a different theory (which he presents as fact) about who killed #5, #6, and #7 on the Tribune timeline. Would an actual admission of guilt from Calabrese on those specific murders discredit Roemer? That's a huge implication for a large body of literature.
