This Day in World History - While federal and state officials knew Capone was guilty of bootlegging, running prostitution rings, and ordering these and other murders, they could not get the evidence to convict him.

That old saying "One man's rags are another man's riches" is certainly true for today's guest blogger, Karen Robards.
