yaeh iim starting to think that stabbing was lcn related. someone must have not wanted his book out and tried to stop it. not a hit just a threat stabing, heard in the gut is more painful then getting shot. don't believe for a second gotti sr sent john alite in 1986(whats alite 23?) to tell joe n gallo to step down gravano would have put that in his book. gotti paid for gallos appeal on those ravenite tapes talking about how expansive it was.
