Book Description
The title is from Damon Runyon's remark, "I long ago came to the conclusion that all life is six to five against." The purpose of this book is to help reveal how all life is indeed six to five against, yet also to try to reveal what makes life tick, especially in the U.S.A. Author Ryan says, "It is a book chock full of events that exemplify or illustrate, and people who personify, Damon Runyon's philosophical conclusion. I have written about them simply because as a writer - that is, a person who finds out about and then tells about - I could not resist them. I hope that you, the reader, will consider this collection of 103 distinct pieces, many of which have appeared in newspapers or magazines, as a sort of commonplace book. Perhaps you will find it useful as a bedside book -- to be explored now and then, if and when -- or as a reference with a thorough index, or maybe you will be tempted to read it right through from start to finish."

Book Description
Three exposés of corruption—behind the NFL, the Teamsters and Jimmy Hoffa, and Ronald Reagan—from an investigative reporter who “never relents” (The Washington Post). Interference: A shocking exposé of widespread corruption and mob influence throughout the National Football League—on the field, in the owners’ boxes, and in the corporate suites. “[A] true and terrifying picture of a business whose movers and shakers seem to have more connections to gambling and the mob than to touchdowns and Super Bowls.” —Keith Olbermann The Hoffa Wars: The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden Teamsters union and its legendary president, Jimmy Hoffa—organizer, gangster, convict, and conspirator—whose disappearance in 1975 remains one of the great unsolved mysteries. “Mr. Moldea’s view of [the Hoffa] wars, which reached its greatest intensity when Robert Kennedy was Attorney General, may explain not only Mr. Hoffa’s disappearance, but the assassination of John Kennedy as well.” —The Wall Street Journal Dark Victory: A “smoldering indictment” of the corrupt influences that rescued Ronald Reagan’s acting career, made him millions (resulting in a federal grand jury hearing), backed his political career, and shaped his presidency (Library Journal). “[Moldea] has, through sheer tenacity, amassed an avalanche of ominous and unnerving facts. [Dark Victory is] a book about power, ego, and the American way.” —Los Angeles Times
