I love this headline. As a public service to anyone not sure what this means, here it is:

From “The Godfather” -At Don Corleone’s funeral, Barzini approaches Corleone caporegime Salvatore Tessio to organize another peace summit where Corleone’s successor, Michael, would be ambushed.

Barzini doesn’t know, however, that he has walked into a trap. Before he died, the elder Corleone had explicitly warned Michael that his enemies would attempt to kill him in exactly this manner, at a supposed peace meeting, with whoever in his own Family who approached him with the proposal revealed as a traitor.

Michael has been planning for some time to eliminate Barzini and the other dons, and deliberately allowed Barzini to move in on the Corleone interests in order to lull him into complacency.

Shortly thereafter, Barzini is assassinated along with the other conspirators.

Sounds like a great plan...of course with the names changed.
