Well adding to the scene at the table when Michael says he joined the marines....my fondest memory and special touch by Puzo and coppola came when all the members of the family wnet to greet their dad at the door and michael was just sitting there...as sonny walked over to greet dad he gives Mike ONE more big brother snipe..lol...he says..

"STUPID" and walks away..THAT was great and really showed the big brother lil brother relationship...lol

WHile the mafia was handling their business in the underworld. The Black gangsters settled beefs within their own communities..also known as the 'Chicago Gang WARS' a story yet to be told....
