| It is widely known, for example, that Mafia button men rarely kill for money, but usually carry out such assassinations as a kind of "gotcha" that keeps other underworld figures on their toes. Mafia monarchs like Carlo Gambino and Joe Bonano ensured that cops and civilians were safe to walk the streets, while West Coast crime barons like Mickey Cohen, Jack Dragna and, yes, even Bugsy Siegel guaranteed that button men only killed each other. |
