Vacari good stuff. What do you think would have happened if say Vito did go head to head with Adonis? Would his friendship with Lucky been enough to stop Vito's overthrow and would have Vito waited to build his power base even more?
Didn't Adonis live in Ft. Lee or am I thinking Albert A?
After Adonis' deportation to Italy there were strong rumors that Lucky was angry and no longer speaking to him for not stopping Vito.
Adonis moved to Ft Lee from Brooklyn in 1944. Anastasia and Tony Bender followed his coattails and became his neighbors. Bender was very close to Vito. While in NJ, I read Adonis hired a black chauffeur who lived near him in an exclusive white neighborhood. That would have been a big deal in 1940's. I found that tidbit interesting.
