I agree, I think the "real" decline started in the late 70s. Also, after the French Connection was busted, the mob became even more involved in the distribution of narcotics, which brought more attention of law enforcement. The same happened with the mob's activities in Las Vegas in the late 1970s. I think the downfall of the Cleveland syndicate was a symbolic starting point for the decline of the American Mafia.
i think so too...on the cleveland family...they were really the first family to start to crumble...the whole danny green thing, and with lonardo .....the first true underboss to flip...not sammy the bull.
