Carlo Gambino was never "beaten the shit out of him". If I remember correctly, Bonanno in his book, the original source for this, Gambino had bungled an assignment which made Anastasia furious. He raised his hand and almost slapped him. A normal man of honor would at least have left the room in anger. But Gambino answered with a passive grin.
