Benjamin Franklin is our subject for a new season with Walter Isickson.

He's the most successful self-made business person in America.

A printer, a scientist, a founding father, but maybe not the guy we think we know.

Franklin casts his lot on the side of Revolution and it's another thing that splits the family apart.

For decades the mafia had New York City in a stranglehold,

It sent the message that we can prosecute these people.
