  • The changes in leadership of what would become the Bufalino Crime Family
  • Barbara's relationship to top Pittston mob leaders Santo Volpe, Russell Bufalino, Anthony F. Guarnieri, Emanuel Zicari, as well Pat and Sam Monachino
  • Barbara's issues with the State Liquor Authority (SLA) that nearly drove him out of business in the early 1950's
  • The 1956 meeting between Barbara, Joe Bonanno, Frank Garofolo, John Bonventre, and Carmine Galante in Binghamton, New York
