re: #277 Dr Lizardo

Wasn’t the man behind Columbus Day some Mafiosi? I think it was one of the Five Families, IIRC.

Colombo family—Didn’t create C-Day, led protests at Columbus Circle to oppose efforts to tune it down. (1970s-80s IIRC). It was tied into their bogus Italo Antidefamation BS that was aimed at giving the mob some cover.
