You have one blurb about Maishe Rockman (Cleveland's longtime advisor). FYI- John Scalish and Angelo Lonardo were knee deep in the casino skimming operations, in fact, they were one of the more prominent families at that time with a bigger piece of the casinos than KC and Milwaukee. The entire hierarchy went to prison for it. And Ray Patriarca Sr., while he was involved to an extent, was one of the bosses who didn't have a lot at stake in the casino skim. Cleveland and Chicago were the two main families who had all the connections to Las Vegas...then NY and the rest of the Midwest families got a taste. Morris Kleinmann and Moe Dalitz wer eboth part of the founding members of the old Mayfield Road Mob in Cleveland with the Milano brothers. By minimizing the Cleveland Family's involvement, you pain an entirely different history and the facts get distorted for the rest of the posters interested in this topic.

In regards to Havana, you also forgot to state that Gabriel "Kelly" Mannarino and his brother Sam Mannarino, Pittsburgh's underboss and his brother along with Russell Bufalino were "equal partners" with Lansky, Traficante, Marcello and Luciano.
