One of the Durable Myths of Mafia is that you have to kill someone, on orders from higher-ups, to be inducted. How many of the bosses named actually killed one or more people with their own hands in their "line of work"? It's not possible to know for sure, but it's obvious, for example, that Anastasia, Genovese, Persico, Colombo and Gotti did. But, I wonder about many (most) of the others, particularly the old-timers like Charlie Lucky and Uncle Frank.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
