I'll say a good source of mine says people call Vena 'Handsome' and 'Tall' - and yeah I think its not to his face but in code for obvious reasons. Here is the second transcript that shows Handsome is indeed Vena - and Vena refused to 'serve up the Parthenon guy' (Stravoupolos)

I also think when Mandell is talking about the Sherriff and the DA he is talking about other people in the Outfit. The 'intelligence community' is people giving him information on who pays who in the Outfit.
39 MANDELL: So, why Billiard One, along with his companion
40 Billiard Two, go there makes all the sense to
41 the intelligence community over at the, the
42 States Attorney’s Office. So that means that
43 little Rex—Robert Redford is right.

45 MICHAEL: Yep.
46
47 MANDELL: And you know what the Cook County State’s
6

2
3 MICHAEL: I don’t think they’re shar—I don’t think they’re
4 sharing anything with the Cook County Sheriff
5 or anything or anybody else.
6
7 MANDELL: No, no, no, no, no, not sharing though. There’s
8 no bribe going on. I’m saying that Billiard
9 Number One pays homage to somebody above him.
