In terms of The Godfather books and listening to the original character that Brando played in the movie, in justifying the role of organized crime in meeting the illegal needs of society in that period of time, I get the sense that in terms of the work you're doing you're trying to eliminate as much as possible that need--drug dependency, prostitution, and I suppose we could go down the list. It seems to me that's the thrust of the various things you've spoken about, and that's what you're really trying to get at. Is that fair?
