I had a friend in the 70s whose family came from Sicily and just like the Corleones, his last name was the same as a city.

He was really handsome and a really fine baseball player. He had some odd characteristics which I have never seen before. One was he would get too close to you when talking.

How about we send the Italian investigators to Chicago? It’s sure as hell the US government can’t find any. Maybe they aren’t looking in the right place.
