Gatsby introduces Nick to Meyer Wolfsheim

At lunch in a Forty-second Street cellar, Gatsby introduces Nick to Meyer Wolfsheim, a small, flat-nosed man with cuff buttons made of human molars. Wolfsheim reminisces about the shooting of Rosy Rosenthal at the old Metropole. After Wolfsheim leaves, Gatsby reveals that he fixed the 1919 World's Series. Nick is staggered by the implication that one man could manipulate the faith of millions. The meeting reveals Gatsby's connection to organized crime.
