Thanks Turnbull. Makes sense. In fact I was reading something in "Donnie Brasco" last night, a little bit that talked about what happened when Carmine Galante, the Bonnano Boss in the 70's, was shotgunned to death. I didn't say how the new Don came into power, but it did talk about how some of the old capos were demoted(rather than getting whacked), and how the new capos came up. Not a lot of detail, but interesting. Even the Bonnano underboss, Nicky Marangello, was bumped down to a simple wiseguy.
