Yes, Massino was getting really paranoid at that point. "Bonventre" was Joe Bonanno's family name on his mother's side, though I don't know if Cesare was related to him.

Sonny, I assume you've read Anthony Destefano's "King of the Godfathers." It's one of the very few excellent Mob boss bio's. If you haven't, I strongly recommend it.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
