摘要

Imagine an astrophysicist who must explain the solar system to his stu-dents. He decides to do so not by examining grand theories involving planet formation or general relativity. Instead, he proposes a close examination of Mercury. Find out about this tiny, hot planet, and you will understand everything that matters, he tells his students. And rows of budding science wonks scratch their heads, look at each other, and wonder: Is that possible? Well, this is the approach Jonathan Van Meter has taken in The Last Good Time: Skinny D'Amato, the Notorious 500 Club, and the Rise and Fall of Atlantic City. The author tells us everything we could want to know about a low-level hoodlum who, in the 1950s, rose to own the most glamorous nightclub in the most glamorous resort in America. And he uses that as a hook to examine Atlantic City's big issues: politics, crime, urban decline, and, of course, the impact of gambling. That's a large job to hang on the son of a Neapolitan barber-even if he did own the joint where Martin & Lewis got their act together and was the guy who told DiMaggio that Marilyn was dead.
