Clifton Fadiman reports in Anecdotes how Frank Costello, racketeer, amazed people with his ability to wield power even while in jail. He smoked English cigars, though no one knew how he smuggled them in. He ate steak as though he were sitting in a restaurant. On one occasion, his attorney Edward Bennett Williams, was visiting Costello late one afternoon and told him that he was upset because he had failed to get tickets to My Fair Lady and had already invited his wife's parents to the play to celebrate their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. When Williams returned to his hotel room, there was a knock on the door, and a broad-shouldered man, under a slouch hat, handed him an envelope containing four tickets to that evening's performance of My Fair Lady.
When Jesus Christ changed water into wine at the wedding at Cana in Galilee, people were amazed. But it was a deliberate act on the part of Jesus Christ to display his divine power, in order that people might believe in him as the Messiah.
