David Healey: Chicago, Hog Butcher for the World. Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat. Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler. Stormy, husky, brawling, City of Big Shoulders. Those are the proud words of Carl Sandburg. It's how we like to think of our city. Underneath the carpet of our complacency and inertia, was the dirt which had caked up again since Al Capone, Mr. Big, was put out of circulation. We'd fooled ourselves into believing that the air was fresh and pure again, but all that had happened under Mr. Big was small potatoes compared to the syndicate which had taken over the mantle of crime and corruption on a nationwide scale.
[as the voice continues talking, the camera eventually fades to a newspaper office]
David Healey: As I learned when Nelson Kern paid me a visit. This time, they were hiding behind a phony veneer of legitimate enterprises. And it wasn't long after Mr. Kern left my office when it all started again
