Since you haven't read the manuscript I can tell you that it's not an easy read. A single paragraph can go on for several pages. So can a single sentence. Valachi did some crazy page numbering, like he could go from pages 1 to 10, then go page 10a, 10b, 10c and so on before going to page 11.
Having read the stuff you put up online, I think it's fair to say Valachi was a world class rambler! And I don't mean he liked to walk! Not really surprising that Peter Maas cut a lot of it out of the book to make it read better. No conspiracy, just good book editing.
Just to get back to the opening post, I would say Charlie Luciano, Ciro Terranova, Tony Bender, Joseph Pinzola, Sam Pollaccia, Rocco Pellegrino and Gaetano Ricci are good contenders for Masseria capo's, with Frankie Yale a possible(although I tend to think not) but certainly Little Augie Pisano after Yale and Frankie Marlow's death.
