don't know whether anyones seen this article. I've not seen it posted before.

http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=14...pg=1322,3687825

some interesting stuff it says:

1. That he had the support of three other families and others from around the country involved in narcotics apart from the gambinos.

2. he hired two associates to kill 12 black and hispanic drug traffickers but the contracts didn't take place.

3. he reached an agreement with nicky barnes to supply him with heroin.

Scorcese,

Thanks for the piece. Very intersting guy. I've seen another article recently that mentions #1 and #3 on your list but had not heard about the planned hits before.

Galante was an anomaly; someone who was alleged to have the mental age of a teenager yet could speak several different languages, quote Plato and travel the world to carry out his drug business. I mean most gangsters probably never set foot outside NY and couldn't name 10 states!

I think the mafia would have been a lot stronger with more guys like Castellano and Galante and less like Gotti and Dellacroce.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
