Sample Book Insights:
#1 The United States government built a naval base on the Mississippi River near the segregated Storyville neighborhood of New Orleans in 1917. The area was a jazz musicians' paradise, but it was closed down in 1919, and thousands of people left the city.
#2 The Mafia had built their empires on illegal, bootlegged liquor, which brought them millions of dollars in unreported, untaxed income. When the Depression came, they were the only people with big money.
#3 The biggest talent agency at the time was the William Morris Agency, which was run by Austrian immigrant Wilhelm Moses. It was founded in 1898 by Moses, who had changed his name to William Morris when he came to the United States.
#4 Stein and Goodheart began finding jobs for bands and advising clients on their careers. They insisted that MCA be the exclusive agent of those bands and bandleaders, and they demanded that dance halls with which they worked hire MCA bands exclusively.
