CHICAGO - Al Capone refuses to be rubbed out.
Chicago officials shun any association with "Scarface," whose Prohibition-era exploits made his name synonymous with the city.
"Anything that glorifies violence we are not interested in," said Dorothy Coyle, director of the city's office on tourism.
But 60 years after his death, they still can't run his memory out of town and visitors from all over the world are very much interested.
