Im sticking to the notion that Lucy was supposed to sell some books to women. Like General Hospital, but racier.

I'm interested to see how the Clemenza/Tessio thing comes out. It seems like Coppola may have been preoccupied with maintaining suspense, while the Tessio reveal of the novel has a kind of melancholy sense about it. Sad that one of the Old Guard would have turned, but not at all surprising.
