My Take
John A. Gotti interests me less as a mobster than as a study in inheritance. Born on Valentine's Day in 1964, he became acting boss of the Gambino family at a young age only because his father went to prison, and that shadow shaped everything. What I find genuinely remarkable is the legal endurance: four racketeering trials between 2004 and 2009, every one ending in a mistrial. Whatever one thinks of him, surviving that gauntlet took uncommon nerve. I keep coming back to the burden of a famous name, which delivers both glory and liability whether you want them or not.
