Is That Judith Millerini From The NYT?

Some are speculating that Judith Miller's stubborn refusal to work with the law may be a family trait, from her father Bill:

Her father, Bill Miller, was a nightclub impresario known as “Mr. Entertainment,” who, we hear, had a number of close cosa nostra associates. His first successful venue, Bill Miller’s Riviera, in Fort Lee, N.J., was a swank affair with an illegal casino upstairs that served as a launching pad for the careers of Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and other marquee acts of the Rat Pack era. According to law enforcement sources, the club was also a favored hangout of some of the tri-state area’s most hard-bitten gangsters.

“Everyone knew Bill Miller’s Riviera was all mobbed up,” says retired NYPD Lt. Joseph Coffey, the former head of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force. “Most nights the wiseguys held court at the ringside tables. Back then, performers couldn’t get work in any of the nightclubs unless they were connected to a mob guy, and the Riviera was a mecca for the mob. Wiseguys from all over the country would go to the joint. They ran it.”
