"Bessie was a somewhat vain woman who was somewhat ruthless but undoubtedly very smart ... Rocco had the network of men they needed for distribution and enforcement, but Bessie understood business. She advised him, encouraged him and facilitated a lot of what he did. She had an innate understanding of how to take advantage of certain situations ... People have a kind of romantic view that Bessie was responsible for much of what they did in bootlegging, but it’s certainly clear that she was responsible for the narcotics traffic ... That was her impetus, it was her baby."
