I love quizzes, but I only read the book once and saw part one, Sorry, I am not impressed by the mafia, no crime in general so here goes: 1. Marlon Brando 2. James Caan, 3. Dianne Keaton 4. Al Pacino 5. Robert Duvall 6. Abe Vigoda 7. Sonny played by James Caan. 8 Vito Corleone 9 Santino (Sonny) Corleone 10. Katherine (Kay) Adams Corleone 11. Michael Corleone 12. Thomas (Tom) Hagen 13. Salvatore (Sal) Tessio. For the rest? I don't remember 1972 (I was 39) was 53 years ago. I never re-read the book or saw the film again. I did admire Marlon Brando, The only things I strongly remember are Sonny being killed at the interstate toll booth and the nastiness of killing a beautiful horse just to warn some imbecile.

Now if you were to quiz me on trump slime I could answer (easily) 100 Questions LOL

The idea is to send your answers by DIRECT MESSAGE Fay, but thanks for having the good spirit to take part!

The quiz is aimed at concentrating minds on the extent to which government, and business, and government as business, and business within government, are or are not all indistinguishable from the mob. So, you raise a very valid point, on which there's no space to go into in depth here, but your point, if I may paraphrase it, is in how far Mr Trump resembles the mob.

I don't think one can usefully analyse and answer that question without making a panoply of generalisations, or descending into polemic. One thing the Godfather said is worth bearing in mind: "Never hate your enemies - it affects your judgment."

My own perception is that Mr Trump is very vocal about what he thinks about his enemies and, if that is affecting his judgment, you should perhaps take some solace in that.
