Corbitt wrote a book with many unbased statements and general talk which he probably heard through the years...for example he portrayed Hy Larner like someone who made James Bond look like a little baby and also being the real power behind the Outfit. Who knows maybe Larner was a real life 007 but he surely didn't give orders to Giancana or Aiuppa or any of the capos. Although I have to admit that I find the situation a little bit strange, like the moment when Corbitt’s book came out, and when the CIA immediately rushed and assaulted the book. "The allegations about the CIA are a potpourri of yarns that don't bear any resemblance to reality," said Mark Mansfield, a spokesman for the organization at the time

Does anyone know whether Rocky Lombardo is still alive? Joe Lombardo and his brothers - Rocky, Nucci and Vic used to hit balls in Melrose Park and hang out at the old golfland driving range near Kiddieland - from what I've learned, these Grand Avenue guys were coming into Melrose Park during Aiuppa's heyday and taking over (obviously with Aiuppa's blessing).

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that the Grand Av boys had to take over anything in MP since they already had huge interests in that same area since "day one", first through Pranno, Amabile and Battaglia and later with Alderisio and Nicoletti

Last FB pic posted in 2018, but his profile is pretty locked down so that doesn't mean much other than he was alive as of then.
