Camarel, yes, I read the George Wolf biography and recommend it, despite the glamorizing of Costello. I'm currently rereading Tim Newark's biography of Luciano and it's mentioned in there. Newark's biography also listed Lansky as the whistle blower, quoting Doc Stacher as the source. I also read Mafia Summit, by Gil Reavill.

On a related note, did anyone read that attendees brought envelopes for tribute to Vito?

Again, I found the concept of Genovese being recognized as the boss of bosses to be ridiculous, leading to my thread here....
