Just to shift gears for a moment: any takers for explaining the significance of the fact that Rocco hands Michael the "orange from Miami," and that he is wearing an orange jacket?
I am in the minority here but... I think Rocco made a business decision. He lost because of it then spends the rest of his Corleone life trying to make up for it.
I think Michael suspected him. But wasnt sure. Because it was business. I think Michael felt safe. Rocco knew that he made a bad business decision. Michael held it over him, HARD. Rocco was from that point on forever loyal. I think it was one of the most dangerous "chess" games Michael played in the movie.... along with the constant manuevering with Roth.
