Interesting articles. Thanks for sharing, MightyDR and Furio.

Barney to me is basically a textbook example of why the Genovese family fascinates many, including myself: we don't really know anything about him. We can only faintly speculate on what he did to get where he is, but there's a next to 100% possibility he will never tell anything about this himself and nobody else will ever (dare to??) tell anything about it either. It's said he's "the real deal" and that's as much as we're probably ever gonna know.
