"Paulie was the boss of everyone in the neighborhood". I think that was hinting towards a role as a capo since he's holding that territory. You're right, it was a bit confusing, but that's one of the reasons I admire Goodfellas. You don't have Henry Hill driving the real don around. They're punks running around looking to get made, and it's not an easy life where there's a justifiable reason to whack everyone out. Good tsuff, Don Cardi. Maybe we could get a biography thread? It would be helpful since sometimes people don't know how to venture past the staple books or the Northeast when researching.
