Alphonse Gabriel Capone , más conocido como Al Capone o Al Scarface Capone , apodo que recibió debido a la cicatriz que tenía en su cara, provocada por un corte de navaja, fue un famoso gánster estadounidense de los años 20 y 30, aunque su tarjeta de visita decía que era un vendedor de antigüedades.[1]​

Capone comenzó su carrera de delincuente en Brooklyn antes de trasladarse a Chicago y convertirse en la figura del crimen más importante de la ciudad. Hacia finales de los años 20, Al Capone ya estaba en la lista de los "más buscados" del FBI. Su caída se produjo en los años 30, cuando fue encarcelado por el Gobierno Federal de los Estados Unidos por evasión de impuestos, siendo sentenciado por 11 años y enviado a la prisión de Alcatraz. Murió en 1947 por neumonía en Miami Beach, Florida. Wikipedia

“If machines are going to take jobs away from the worker, then he will need to find something else to do. Perhaps he'll get back to the soil. But we must care for him during the period of change. We must keep him away from Red literature, Red ruses; we must see that his mind remains healthy.”
