The subtitle on Page 5 read, “Weakened mob mourns Donato Angiulo.” As an Italian American, I was appalled at the decision of the Boston Herald to run that large Page 1 photo of anyone he writes about but making fun of the dead was so insensitive to his family and to every Italian American Herald reader. To Gelzinis, Italian-Americans are apparently nothing more than a collection of gang- sters. Counting flower cars is so venial and question- ing how many flower cars Jerry Angiulo will get at his funeral was plain offensive. Donato is dead and his family mourns. The Herald hurls insults. Dominic DiMaggio dies and the Herald buries him in the back of the paper. A friend of mine called the Herald to complain. When he asked, why DiMaggio didn’t make the front page, he was told, we don’t put dead people on the front page. My friend responded, what do you call the guy inside the casket? CLICK.
