I realize that a lot of aspects of the Godfather are based off of real events (Havana... Prohibition... etc.) but I thought that the whole Maranzano - Al Capone stint didn't really add anything to the book.

I'm sort of a mob history buff... (Yeah, I know most of you guys could wipe the floor with me when it comes to that... but I know the basics.) anyways... it seemed weird as hell to me that Puzo made real life characters do things that never happened in order to sort of glorify the Corleone family... in a mafia sense of course.

There's nothin' on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.
