Does any boss really take advice from his consigliere anymore? Back in the old days, you had wise olders guys like Accardo, Joe N Gallo, Piney Armone, Tommy DiBella and Paul Ricca as consigliere, which made sense. They had been made for decades and were in semi-retirement and respected by most of the family. Recently, guys like Gravano, who was only 41 when he was made consigliere. The Luccheses had Casso and then Frank Papagni, who was 36 years old. These were all greedy, impulsive, hotheads who were quick to pull the trigger.
