I'm sure Carmine would have been happy that all mainstream news and publications named him as a boss, people still think of him as a boss over 35 years later and even people with a passing interest in the mob know him or know of that picture while only hardcore mob enthusiasts know anything about Rastelli.
The man died aged 69, on top of his game and with an almost (if not) instantaneous death.
For all the negativity surrounding him, the family fell apart from infighting in the immediate aftermath of his assassination, Rastelli was close to senility and would die not long after and his successor Massino would go on to become first bonafide boss to rat. Should of kept Carmine alive if you ask me. I'm sure lots of the family felt the same way but the boss is the boss is the boss as Neil would say ![smile smile](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/smile.gif) .

The galante hit. His attempt to control the heroin trade and the use of zip factions to split the bonanno family set in motion the same destructive policies that were to shake the Sicilian families to their core with the rise of the corleonesi. The destructive and flashy attitudes, the huge amounts of money involved would draw the attention of law enforcement and lead to the new York families being brought to their knees, if not extincted then reduced to a lesser role.
I would not be surprised if a John gotti did not view the killing of galante with considerable interest given the events of December 1985.

May'be i'm not getting it ...ok, they say he wanted to dominate the HEROIN trade . why did the other families want him dead ? luccheses's Columbo's Genovese's and Gambino's had their own network's of narcartic's .Was he under cutting them in the pricing ? he was basically a junk guy right ? To me it's GALANTE HIT , I'll never forget that daily new's front page ,HISTORIC .I'M A LIL TO YOUNG FOR THE MAD HATTER EXPIERIENCE .

I might have heard something like that. Regardless I know he was disrespecting him and the other bosses.

Anastasia was the bigger hit due to the fact that the killing of Albert was the first killing of a mob boss in New York since the Castellammare War. The bosses in the other cities around the country did not know what was going on, and were traveling or sending messengers to New York to find out.

Albert it had a bigger impact on the commission,Frank early retirement Carlos become a boss VITO calling a meeting way bigger.
From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Did Galante really die with a cigar in his mouth or did Joe Coffey put it there?
Cos I gotta say. If someone put it there it kinda takes away from the impact of that famous picture.
It is probably the most iconic mafia related picture ever taken. I'm reading the Coffey Files right now. He didn't put it there. Joe Coffey addressed the cigar in his book. He says it was proven that Galante had the cigar in his mouth at the moment the killers started shooting. When Joe Coffey arrived on the scene, Galante was already removed from Joe and Mary's.
