The book the Mad Ones about the Gallos is really informative. Their racket that gave them so much power was vending. Larry was the brains. Really it teaches you more about the other brothers than just Joey.


Yes BarrettM you're right but a boss that don't give to his men what promised isn't a good boss,if you ask loyalty you must give respect,Gallo was a made man not an associate that killed a man that was his mentor in the mafia.When Gallo rebelled many soldiers was with him and that is the sign that more hated Profaci while Gambino that was an old style boss too was always respected even by John Gotti.
