We must read the same books. I read a theory that Joe Kennedy got Giancana to soothe things over with Costello, and convinced him to call off the contract. In return, old man Kennedy would arrange for Jack to be very kind to the mob when in the oval office.

I don't recall, however, what Joe Kennedy supposedly did to anger Costello...
