HairyKnuckles,I loved the newspaper articles you posted. Hats off to a fine research job. Stuff like this is what makes me a forum junkie.
I got a kick out of the description of Gambino as having a "chronic cardiac condition". Reminds me of Hyman Roth "dying of the same heart attack for twenty years". Also mentioned was the deportation order that Gambino was under and which was still in effect when he died.
The stuff regarding Neil's beating and the attempts on his life was new to me. We see Dellacroce as the feared, ruthless killer that everyone was afraid of,but it's a nice reminder that at one time,he was no different than any thug on the street.
Again thanks for the good work!
