Raimundo,

"Actually, Frankie Five Angels."

But of course, Frankie PENT ANGELI. I was confused by the conjunction of Greek (Penta) and Latin (angelus) derivatives. Although I don't remember the usage in the movie. Half credit to you, signore, but please don't start with coinkidinkies and conspiracies here, or we'll be back with Lincoln/Kennedy and Kennedy/Lincoln yada yada yada.

Another topic: Alan Greenback is hampered by a lack of data? I thought the guy had too much data. All he needed to do was listen to Neil Cavuto, who knows exactly when to raise and lower rates, although he doesn't know when to turn away that 3rd helping of chocolate mousse.

Finally, I'm glad there are other fans of Godfather I and II. Two of the most beautifully shot and paced movies I've ever seen. Marlon Brando who never raises his voice and mostly pets pussy (I'm serious, it's a white cat) when making judgments--brilliant dialogue; Robert DeNiro's riveting performance as a simple workingman immigrant who gets pushed by Bruno Kirby and Fanucci (the Black Hand's man) into a position of power.

Funny thing, when they re-edited the movie in chronological order (the Godfather Saga) and added in cutting room floor scenes, it stayed just as good. Which see, especially, DeNiro taking revenge in Sicily not only on Don Ciccio but two others who killed his family and tried to assassinate him when he was an 8 year old. You can rent it, but avoid GF III.

Enough of my prattle,
