Turnbull,

You said that Luciano was "brilliant for not appointing himself capo di tutti capi."

That actually sounds a lot like George Washington! Washington could easily have become king of the United States but chose not to do so. Even King George III respected him immensely for this. When he was told after the war that Washington planned to retire rather than become a king, he supposedly said that if he did that, he would be the "greatest man in the world."

Let me tell ya somethin my kraut mick friend!
