A patriotic true crime biography is an entertaining read of legendary newsman Jimmy Breslin
In more ways than one, Jimmy Breslin had a big head. As a lion of the New York and American press, Breslin counted nearly a century’s worth of politicians, operators, gangsters and cops as friends, targets, sources, and blood-foes.
He carried an ego the size of Manhattan and a sense of humor bigger than Queens.
He also had a large skull, once covered with black Irish curls, that into his gray 80s was often wreathed in cigar smoke and curse-words.
One night in 1970 that skull, with the rest of the garrulous newsman’s head, was found bouncing off the bar at a tavern called The Suite, as Breslin took a beating from Jimmy “The Gent” Burke, a mafia associate later played under a different name by Robert DeNiro in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas.
