Leave the gun, take the cannolis

There is new hope for Naples. Italy that is. Operation Old Bridge, a major sweep of mafia figures in the U.S. and Italy, has netted 54 arrests in New York City and 25 to 30 in Palermo. The operation may have decapitated the Gambino family, although John "Jackie the Nose" D'Amico, the acting boss is currently on vacation. How the Italians managed to hold up their end without a government is anyone's guess. Now maybe the trash in Naples will finally get picked up. Maybe even on time too.
