1. Considering he had started to spend a lot of time in Florida or was semi-retired he probably wouldn't be suitable or want to become boss of the Luccheses.

2. My guess is pride and outrage. IIRC, he was asked to go from kicking up $50,000 a year to half of everything. Tony Ducks is really to blame for this one. He should have told Amuso/Casso to only expect a little bit from Accetturo. Or told Accetturo he will have to start kicking up more because of a new regime.

3. Based on what I've read, the NJ crew was large and powerful, but I wouldn't think it could top their some of their NYC crews. They seem to be involved in more industries and I assume bigger sized rackets. I suppose it depends what time period though.
