Winegardner writes that in 1955, Rocco was not yet thirty years old.
Which would have made him under twenty when he was running a gas rationing coupon scam and when he whacked Paulie and got the promotion to top button man.
A little young for all of that, I think.... 
:rolleyes: 
Also, in the scene where he introduces Kay's father, he writes how her parents had always "been in her corner", even the time they were visited by Federal Agents, who acused Mike of being a gangster and a murderer.
The two who visited Kay's home were NYC detectives (Phillips & Siriani), not federal agents.
So far, on the whole, I'm a bit disappointed, but, as I hit about page 100, the plot does seem to be thickening a bit. Rocco was already bald in 1945 when he whacked Paulie. I estimated Rocco to be about Fredo's age.
He probably said Cuneo & Stracci survived because only 2 of the five Dons were actually murdered in 1955. (Anastasia & ..... damn i havent been keeping up on my Mob trivia lately..)
He probably didnt mention them because he wasnt talented enough to think up something for them to do.
