@Giacomo
I'm in total agreement with your observation. Can you imagine if the Bonannos were able reform after the war? I am convinced that the war was the pivot point and never really came close to being that powerful again (even during Massino era). I'm sure Morale would've been acting boss, Lilo would be Underboss and Joe Diamond as Consiglieri with Bill in Arizona.... Rastelli definitely would have to go and Sciacca would've been shelved. If Joe lasted into the 70s, it definitely would've caused problems for Gambino and Joe Colombo imo.
