Nixon exploited the rift between the Teamsters and the Democratic Party, which started with Robert Kennedy's investigations into Jimmy Hoffa. Nixon regularly golfed with teamster consultant/Chicago Outfit associate Allen Dorfman. In the movie Casino, when DeNiro says of Andy Stone (Alan King) "He even played golf with the president", this is what it was based on. Andy Stone was based on Dorfman.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
