Matching Quote

"Managing Editor: That's rotten. 'Costello slaying starts gang war.' That's what I want.
Copy Chief: I'm working on that angle. I've got four men on it.
Managing Editor: Four. You'll need forty men on this story for the next five years. You know what's happening. This town is up for the grabs, get me. You know Costello was the last of the old- fashioned gang leaders. There's a new crew coming out, and every guy that's got money enough to buy a gun is going to try to step in his place. You see, they'll be shooting each other like rabbits for the control of the booze business. You get it. It'll be just like war. That's it—war. You put that in the lead. War—gang war."

-Ben Hecht
