    WI: Dellacroce succeeds Gambino

    It goes down rather faster than OTL, because Castellano's great benefit to the Gambino family was the fact that he was aware of the problems the Mafia faced by that point and that they needed to be more worldly and intelligent towards those threats.

    Best of Both Worlds: An IndyCar Timeline

    Statement from TheMann Racing after the event: "We're all quite relieved Jacques, Hiro, John and Paul were all able to walk away from such a horrific crash, proving as Paul Page said that Indycars are tough customers these days. Chassis can be replaced, drivers can't. Right up until then we...

Normally such cockiness would to me result in a laugh, with the number of times they've...

    The Fate of South Africa

    I'm for the most part inclined to agree with Orangecar - by the time South Africa was at the point where civil war would have even been close to a viable option (mid-late 1970s at the very earliest), it was already white South Africans vs. everyone else. There was still divisions between...
