It's impressive to see some comparasations between McCluskey and Vito. Both helped other people. We all know how Vito helped people, but McCluskey did also. He helped his study-mates, he helped the sister of his wife in Ireland with the dissease and funeral, he helped the Tattaglia family with their Club. He helped his aunts/uncles with their crisp-fields (? Don't know the word) He earned some respect from several people.

He only hadn't a whole crew beneath him. But maybe he could have been a good mobsters too!
