Most of us here at one time or another have agreed that Vito's pledge at the Commission meeting that he would not be the first to "break the peace" was not binding on Michael. I have two questions:

1. Did Barzini "break the peace" first by horning in on Tessio's territory (as he complained in the fishtank scene)?

2. Would Michael have mounted the Great Massacre of 1955 if Vito were still alive?

Your thoughts on both?


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
