FILE - This undated file photo shows Eliot Ness in Cleveland. Portrayed over the years by Kevin Costner and Robert Stack as an incorruptible hero, Ness' legend is now at risk, with some claiming his role in taking out Chicago mobster Al Capone is as mythical as Mrs. O’Leary’s cow starting the Great Chicago Fire.

Both senators are not backing down, though, insisting he deserves it anyway. (AP Photo/The Plain Dealer, File)
