Vito got out of his sick bed and ran the family again as soon as he learned that Sonny was killed. That was before the bomb attempt on Michael. Had Michael been killed, Vito would have continued to run the family. He probably would have asked for a truce anyway, to buy time. He would have groomed Clemenza and/or Tessio to take over for him. Fredo would have stayed in Vegas.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
