Il Duce of Flushing Flats

From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944

(Michel) - Nickname for James V. Taurasi, because his home was in swampy Flushing, New York, and as one of the Triumvirs he could be called a dictator.

See also: De Fuhrer of Newark Swamps, The Mikado of Long Island City.

Note that in the late 1930s, when America was facing up to the need to fight the fascist powers and Japan, with no assurance of winning, these were much more loaded titles than they seem today.
