I don't dispute any of that or what has already been said. But the main reason I mentioned Salemme was he made boss. And he didn't slip through the cracks neither. He was declined at one point but then made his move for power when he came out of the joint at some time in the mid-80's or whatever time it was.

I don't doubt that there are many more guys out there who I'm unaware of. In fact I'd be surprised if there wasn't but my focus was mainly on the fact that this guy was not only a made guy but one that was a boss. And not a boss of Cleveland or Kansas City neither.

I know Boston was a pretty messed up scene at one time. But that's pretty messed up even for a city like Boston.
