Both Sides of the Line by Kevin Kelly
High school players in a working class neighborhood of the 1970s gain desperately needed structure and guidance from Jack "Clyde" Dempsey, a scrappy, charismatic coach who seems like nothing more than a football geek. But "Coach" also happens to be the toughest guy on the streets of Boston, with a temper to match, and it's his secret life as a mob enforcer/collector that forces him to flee the country, becoming one of America's most wanted. In this memoir, a devoted Dempsey disciple, who later becomes a dean at a world private school outside Boston, tries thirty-five years later to understand his former coach, role model, and mentor--both his good side and his very dark side--and Dempsey's impact on his own life. A COMPLETELY TRUE STORY.Kevin Kelly is the editor-at-large of Wired magazine and the author of the acclaimed Out of Control (which Fortune calls essential reading for all executives). He's been a part of cultural firsts including The Hacker's Conference and The Well. He resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
