I haven't viewed GFII in a while, will have to check out the next time for how many times we see Michael Corleone with a glass of water in front of him. Which of course, would indicate 'excessive' drinking of same. rolleyes

The diabetes in GFIII was most likely written in as another way of having the older Michael come off as more weak and vulnerable, nearer the end of his effective reign as 'Don'.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
