Mangano used to be the name of the Gambino family. That should be obvious enough. My takeaway is that Uncle Joon had the mustached petes behind him, for whatever that was worth by 1999, while Tony had the young turks behind him. I'd include Carmine Senior with the latter considering his dismissal of John Sack's complaints about Ralphie insulting his wife.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
