I recall that I had one letter published in the Providence Phoenix not long after my beloved Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci was sent to federal prison. I did not think "Buddy" should have been found GUILTY at all.
According to the ruling, he was guilty in general of corruption, but not guilty of any crime in particular. A pernicious law that could get any rebel sent to prison who infuriates the local ruling class. An old dialectical law: the truth is always concrete. Only God should pass judgment on a "corrupt soul."
In the letter I expressed hope that Cianci would not be broken by prison. Today I caught a glimpse of him on "Meet the Press," Buddy Unbroken !
