Pic knows more about the life, all the players, and all the politics better than anyone on any forum. I know who he was around . Lenihan wasnt around a quarter of the guys pic moved around with. To even think pic was fresolone is absurd. Freselone knew NO ONE on the other side of the river, especially east harlem. Freselone lived in a small world and was carried by patty specs. You obviously came up with that one by reading steve's interview which is basically factual by the way.
Lets leave the conjecture to subjects you may know something about.


Belmont, I always thought Pic/Lenehan were separate. One thing I find interesting though....Pic swears Benny Squint was only boss for like a year then was shelved by Catena. Every other poster (especially those in the know) think Benny was boss from the 60's all the way to when he died in the 80s (I believe). Any insight as to why he would feel differently than everyone else? Thanks.
