Philly.com's Mob Scene videos

I am a big fan of Philly.com's Mob Scene with George Anastasia, which features concise but substantive interviews of the acclaimed Inquirer reporter.  The vignettes, which are roughly five minutes in length, are produced by area great Jim Barry (formerly at CBS3) and afford viewers with a nice blend of imagery and great reporting.  Now that I have the time, I'll be linking to and/or embedding several pieces from their archives (some of which are more than a year old) that are directly related to my research agenda.  Hopefully, the videos will add context to what I have penned.  Few people know the region's underworld and related criminal justice apparatus as well as George.
