Hey Johnny. I was listening to one of the sessions with Magnafichi and he said something to the effect that, "no one would criticize John in my presence." I had to refresh my memory and look at the relationship bet. Magnafichi and Cerone. It looks like he was a driver for Cerone? Don't know much more about their working together, etc. But I did find it interesting that Mr.Fosco didn't take the opportunity to express his dislike for Cerone. As a matter of fact, he (Fosco) was kinda, sorta, bragging on Cerone. Two different situations, two different positions or attitudes at different times. Odd.

Was I right in assuming that Mr. Fosco did not / does not like Cerone sr.? I believe he has also expressed a dislike for Cerone's son, who is an attorney. Maybe it depends on the day you ask him ? Who knows.

Could be "the man at the end of the bar " is a good analogy.
