Frank Matthews, Ike Atkinson and other wholesale to mid level dealers involved in heroin as well. Definitely the columbians & Dominicans traffickers involved in moving coke to the crews of NYC. That was 1970s

Cesar "the tall one". One of Galante's "trusted" zip bodyguards. Massino had him whacked, had he remained alive he would have been indicted for the pizza connection. If memory serves me correctly, Sal Catalano was even higher up than Cesare Bonventre. It was rumored somewhere that Sal was almost made boss of the Bonannos in the early eighties but he either didnt speak English or his English was so poor that he didnt end up in the top seat... which was problematic because he wouldn't have been able to communicate to his captains. If this were true, I wonder why he couldn't have had someone who was bilingual to translate and serve as a messenger.

Catalano led the Sicilians and I always asumed he stayed with them untill today now he's back in Sicily.

http://www.nytimes.com/1983/08/24/nyregion/13-are-charged-with-operating-big-heroin-ring.htmlAn article from 1983, did the mob lose their grip on the drugs trade throughout the 80s due to the main suppliers been either killed or jailed and them losing the people with the contacts on the street and also the know how for the trade? With the crack explosion did that result in less heroin been sold throughout that time or more? There would have been more addicts created. Would use heroin to come down from crack?
