Jack, I thought Fratiano got along with the Dragna's? Or am I thinking of someone else? I'm wanting to say he said good things about the boss before Brooklier took over and of course you could tell he hated him then.

As for the Bomp hit I agree he definitely stalled and I do think Rizzi was on the other line as well as I think that hit was might have got him his button? It's been a while since I read the book, I need to read it again now that I kind of know everyone.

As for the Gallo crew it's crazy how many heavy guys there were in that crew. I don't see how the Colombo's held them off, but that's a topic for another day.
