And I was also surprised because I heard Bonanno´s last name twince in the same day.
A coincidence, I suppose.
Here in New Jersey, about a quarter of our population are of Italian extraction. One of the state's biggest pharmacy chains was called Genovese Drugs. A few years ago, I pleaded a traffic case in a local court--the prosecutor's name was Bonanno. And one of the nation's biggest yogurt producers is called Columbo.
