...feud between Galante and Dellacroce turned bloody, more than a score of their soldiers were slain. Then federal authorities revoked Galante's parole last spring from an earlier 15-year narcotics sentence on the unassailable grounds that he had been "associating with known criminals." At Dellacroce's urging, the Mafia commission in September not only decreed that Galante no longer headed the Bonanno family but let out a contract on his life...

According to Moldea, Hoffa told a fellow Teamster that Provenzano had "threatened to pull my guts out or kidnap my children if I continue to attempt to return to the presidency of the Teamsters." But, at the urging of Anthony ("Tony Jack") Giacalone, a Detroit gang lieutenant and longtime friend, Hoffa finally agreed to meet with Tony Pro on July 30, 1975, to try to resolve their differences...
