Agreed, Apple. But I felt that Vito, given his personal force, gave up a bit too early on Sonny with that line, "Well, I can't tell you how to behave" or somesuch. One possibility is that Puzo needed an opening for his famous line, "Don't you want to be a lawyer? A lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a thousand men with guns." Another is that he had plenty of opportunity to witness Sonny's development, and had already concluded that he wasn't exactly college material. rolleyes [/b]
...yes, vito seemed to back down from sonny very quickly leading me to believe vito feared sonny and decided to pay off his silence by involving him in the family operations...
