by Bob Jones

Cover Story | Prosecutors charge that a reputed Mafia boss ran a sprawling criminal empire from his legal abortion business. As his trial gets underway, WORLD looks at the structure of a largely cash-based industry that is both profitable and politically protected. If it happened in Chicago, why not elsewhere? And what is the Bush administration going to do about it?
