Is there much doubt that the Mount Rushmore of hits would be:
Castellano Galante Bruno Anastasia
Criteria would be the high profiles of the victim and the pictures that documented the outcome I love your list but I would switch out Bruno for Joe Colombo, perhaps you excluded him cause he didn't die immediately but in effect the outcome was the same and we're talking about a Boss being shot in the middle of Columbus Circle in broad daylight with all the immediate aftermath captured on film and the shooter being immediately executed as well. That was quick, clean and efficient. Whether it was Joey, Carlo or whoever else involved, it was done extremely well and even to this day we still don't really know who did it. By your criteria I don't see how that can't make the list!

Great pics, azguy. Each of those was an iconic image: Galante with the cigar in his mouth,Paul and Tommy face up in the street,Bruno in the car,mouth wide open,and of course ,Albert on the Barbershop floor. On the basis of visual impact only, I would add Bugsy ,the St Valentine's day victims, and Masseria with the Ace of Spades in his hand (probably planted by he photographer,but a cool image none the less).

I would keep Bruno and still add Colombo. I think the idea with the Mt. Rushmore comparison is to keep the list to four. Then again, it's been rumoured for years that they would add Reagan to Mt. Rushmore so maybe it will be five yet.
