Write a summary (approx 150 symbols) Alcohol, prohibition and Al Capone

A hundred years ago, you could not buy or consume alcoholic drinks in the United States. It was the age of "prohibition", and a time when criminals controlled a whole industry. The most famous gangster was Al Capone.

America is the land of Liberty. You can think what you want to think, and you can say what you want to say; but you cannot always do what you want to do — without breaking the law.
Today you cannot use hard drugs, because it is against the law. The law has decided that drugs are dangerous, and most people believe that the law is right. Today, in many places, you cannot smoke a cigarette in the street. But today, you can sit in a bar and drink a beer — just as long as you are not below the age limit; a hundred years ago, you could not. America was dry. Alcohol was illegal. You could neither drink it nor make it, nor buy it, nor import it, nor sell it.
lf you did, you could go to prison.
Alcohol became illegal in the year 1919; it remained illegal for fourteen years. However, it never disappeared! Before 1919 alcoholic drinks were very popular in the United States. There was a big drinks industry, which employed a great number of people. Suddenly, in 1919, the industry had to stop!
Of course, it could not stop. It stopped officially, but it continued to prosper - unofficially. In place of big business, there was big crime. The Mafia took control of the distribution, and the bosses of the Mafia replaced the bosses of the breweries and the distilleries.

The biggest gangster of them all was Al Capone, who came from New York and operated in Chicago. Capone controled a vast empire of crime. He was so powerful that he could control anyone he wanted to. He could "buy" policemen, he could "buy" politicians. He was "untouchable". In his fortress at Chicago, he was quite safe, because he was a friend of the Mayor, "Big" Bill Thompson.
Big Bill liked Capone, because he liked his drink. Bill and his drinking friends in the authorities made sure that Capone did not have much trouble. Capone had lots of enemies, but most of his enemies were frightened of him. They knew that Al could kill them, and would kill them, if they were not careful.
Most policemen were very careful not to get in the way of Al Capone, unless they had to. Most policemen, but not all. A small group of policemen, known as "the Untouchables", were determined that Al Capone would not escape from justice for ever. They took several years to do their work, but in the end they succeeded. Al Capone was finally sent to prison.
However, he was never accused of killing, nor of selling alcohol. He was too clever for that. No evidence could incriminate him for that. He was sent to prison for not paying taxes.
