This is my first reply, so go easy on me with the criticism guys. Carlo Gambino....the name alone just says capo di tutti capi. I saw the Biography on the Gambino Crime Family on A&E in March, and I must say, I learned a lot about "Treachury." He was an extremely intelligent man. His method of evading the FBI's wiretaps is being implemented by Peter Gotti today. The switching of meeting places, and the refusal to speak when conducting those meetings. Gambino used to have his Capos do the talking, and only responded with gestures. The FBI would later say they could never get Gambino on tape because he hardly ever spoke, so his system worked. The feat of dying due to old age, in his line of work, is amazing. The stories of how much coffee the man would drink in Ferrara's was unreal! And he would give advice to anyone that seeked it. I, personally, could never join the mafia, but I do regard Carlo Gambino with much respect. He had the perfect cover, which was his unassuming, frail Grandfather-esque stature. That might have been his greatest weapon. Besides, imagine being the INDIVIDUAL(at least in part) that THE GODFATHER was based upon. I find that to be an unmatchable feat personally. I couldn't imagine saying "Yeah, I am the guy Marlon Brando played in one of the best films ever made." That's just my personal opinion.
