This is something ive never understood either, why he picked those two; Let me ask this, Iknow the bronx was very powerful, but was it a situation like Castellano,Costello, Bontade ect. where they were so successful for so long that thier aggresiveness was a little stunted? I say this cause its been noted how close the WS AND Luchesse are, it seems tony ducks and the like suffered from the same thing as the genovese in the 40s and 50s, they focused on business over power; Could it be there was a rift in the bronx faction? Was that it? Any thoughts? (This one I take a personal interest in, as my family had a kind of wierd similar situation...)
