 Ambiguous Situation: We don't know whether Maso was telling the truth about Lucky Luciano deciding that only Italians can hold the top positions, and that was why Joe had to be demoted. During Joe's meeting with him, Luciano says that he tried to talk Maso out of going against Joe, and expresses no problem with Joe being in charge. However, Joe decides to cover his bases by naming Dion as boss of Florida while he stays on as The Consigliere, to which Luciano gives his blessing.

 Big Brother Instinct: Dion betrays Joe because he knows his affair with Emma has made him a liability, and he feels responsible for his older, but dumber, brother. Toward the end of the book, he calls Joe his brother and professes feeling a similar responsibility for him.
