burke was a great earner no doubt, and he knew a lot of made guys, and a lot of capos, but, if he once would not have kicked up to vario he would have been warned, and then eventually clipped, no capo like vario was afraid to kill burke, vario had carloads of shooters, and burke if he ever went to war with a family would never have had a chance, like everyone on this thread agrees, the reason he wasn't hit was he was an exceptional earner.
