Regarding the '57 Apalachin meeting: I had read that the purpose was to put the official blessing on drug trafficking (as well as to officially anoint Vito Genovese, the principal drug-dealing advocate, as Capo di tutti Cappi.).
Regarding Joey Massino: there's a great undercover photo of him in the book, "Donnie Brasco." Hard to miss him anywhere.


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.
