In the 1920s and '30s, Minneapolis was a crime city. Gangsters and politicians were partners in illegal gambling, prostitution, and bootleg liquor. STOPPING THE PRESSES is a searing look at this corrupt time, told through the life of martyred journalist Walter W. Liggett, by his daughter who finally sets the record straight. 20 photos.
