...community -but most people do not become indignant until innocent bystanders are involved. The latest incident occurred in the Neopolitan Noodle, a restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side that is frequented by members of the Colombo gang. The Gallo clan, bent on revenging the assassination of Crazy Joey Gallo (TIME, April 17), began staking out the restaurant in hope of catching the Colombos off guard. One night recently, a Gallo spy spotted four Colombo men gathered at the bar and quickly left to flash word to the Gallo camp in Brooklyn. In the interim the Colombos moved...

As they now reconstruct the assassination, an open contract for Gallo's death had been offered by the Carlo Gambino family at the urging of the Colombos-meaning any Mafia member could execute it. Gambino, the East's strongest Mafia boss, supplied both gangs with guns and encouraged the warfare...
