I agre with you. Evola, Alfano and even Sciacca should have been the leaders after 68 but nobody could really work together. I also find it interesting that, their clannish nature work against them in another aspect of mob politics. No one other than Joe Bonanno could really garner enough support from other Families to demand the same level of respect.
Were Benjamin Ruggiero and Rusty Sicilians or Neapolitans? Also, when did the Bonannos start accepting made men from other parts of Sicily? I remember reading some books stating Joe Bananas distrusting non-Sicilians and probably refusing to induct men who weren't from Sicily.
