To answer A girl and Pete: Michael was not in love with Kay; his marriage to her was not out of love. Thus, he did not care enough for her to abandon his life of crime. He did not care enough for their children to abandon his life of crime. He was not weak; he just plain did not want to give up what he had, really had.
I agree completely, Oli. Michael didn't love Kay.
He loved the idea of being married to a WASP for appearances sake.
In a perfect world, Apollonia Vitelli lives, heads back to the States with Michael, and has full-blooded, strong, Italian-American children.
