just finished reading a book about Russell buffalino, " the quite don" great read. he controlled all of pennslyvania,and much more,the book tells all about him and his family. he was extremely powerful with the teamster,s by the way.
Buffalino may have been very powerful, but he did not control
ALL of Pennsylvania. You realize that both the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh families were pretty big at that time as well? In fact, along with the western side of Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh family controlled West Virginia and had a very powerful Youngstown, Ohio faction as well. I've also read that they controlled some things in New York state (not city) but I'm not sure as to what exactly.
