I think this has been talked about before, but still: what do you think Accardo's real power was in his last years (since the mid 80s)? Was he still the indisputable leader, meaning that no hit took place without his sanction or was he already just a "honorary" advisor? Were Aiuppa, Ferriola, Carlisi, an independent power by themselves or just his representatives?
Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:
1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."
2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
