I always had a question about the Pax Bonanno. There isn't an existing thread, so I'll post it here....

IIRC, from A Man of Honor, one of the commission meetings was held to have Tommy Lucchese defend himself against the charges from Albert Anastasia. Supposedly, Anastasia had solid evidence that Lucchese had ordered him murdered. Lucchese was over a barrel and clammed up. Joe Bonanno helped to broker a peace between Anastasia and Lucchese- in other words, Anastasia gave him a pass. Wasn't this part of the Pax Bonanno?

If my memory is accurate above, why hasn't Lucchese's murder plot received more attention by the media and crime historians?
