1) When was the apex, the peak, of the Mafia here in America? The 40s? 50s? 60s? 70s? 80s?
2) Was Paul Castellano's path--turning the Mob toward white collar crimes and away from blue collar crimes--a wise one? Disregarding himself as a Boss and his own personal pettiness which got him killed, was that strategy one which could've held LCN strong in the long run?
3) A second question about Castellano--how powerful/influential was the Family under his reign? Did anyone respect Paul?
4) How did anyone ever support Gotti as being Boss? He would've been a great soldier but did no one in the Gambino Family worry about how flashy he was?
5) What was the state of the Mafia in the early 1990s--From around 1990 until Gravano flipped?
6) Do you think Neil DellaCroce could've been a good Boss had he been picked?
7) Are there any really interesting Mafiosos I should read about? I only really know about Costello, Luciano, Gotti, Castellano, Gravano, Ruggierio, etc.
8) Are there any books which illustrate what it's like to be a Capo? I ask because most movies usually show the Mob from either the side of the Boss/Guys on top (Godfather, Sopranos) or guys on the lowest ends (Donnie Brasco, etc)
8) Could the Italian American Mafia ever be revived? Even in theory, what would it require?
