The real menace.....................................

Jimmy himself, in a rare moment of self-awareness, offered this reflection on his long grudge match with Bobby Kennedy:  "A corrupt Jimmy Hoffa is no great danger to the United States of America.  There are police forces and law-enforcement agencies to take care of a Jimmy Hoffa, courts of law to try him and jails to incarcerate him, if he truly violates the laws.  The real menace is a vindictive cabinet officer with power over the courts, who by threat or coercion can force weak men to do his bidding and thus make a mockery of the forces of law and order."
