Of all the other families, I've always found The Bonanno family to be the most interesting one. There's something about that old Sicilian way of thinking, that for a long time seemed to set them apart from the other families. Joe Bonanno built his organization around these old values and I believe that fact is one of the main reasons they didn't have a single defector for seventy years. Not to glorify anything, but it really wasn't until Massino, when greed seemed to become the sole motivator. Richard Cantarella got promoted to underboss because of money. Frank Coppa became Joe's favorite capo because of money. As smart as Massino was, he really didn't understand the old Sicilian way of doing things.
