Hit

A phrase denoting a Mafia family’s preparation for war with one or more rival families. To prepare for wartime, a mob family sets up headquarters in various secret apartments. Mob soldiers then move into these apartments, which, when not fighting, they use as hideouts until the war is over. By staying in apartments and“going to the mattresses,”the soldiers can prevent rival families from tracking their movements, and protect their own personal families from violence.

By Nicholas Pileggi

Last month, when Mario Cuomo was in Anaheim, California, to address the National Association of Broadcasters, he was approached in a hotel lobby by a smiling, enthusiastic woman. As the governor listened in shock, the woman urged him to run for president — even though, she explained, she’d heard that a member of his family was “involved” with the mob. “That’s them, not you,” Cuomo recalled the woman saying.

“I asked her where she heard such things,” Cuomo said in a recent interview, “and she said it was the scuttlebutt around her husband’s office.”

And who was her husband? Douglas Edwards, the veteran CBS radio and TV anchor.

“I know it’s all around the place,” Cuomo said, “but what do you do about it?”

One of the things Cuomo did was complain to the New York Times. Twenty-two days after Anaheim and the day after CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl asked him about rumors of “skeletons in his family closet,” Cuomo called E.J. Dionne Jr. of the Times to say he suspected that an organized campaign was at work spreading malicious stories, particularly about his in-laws. The Times printed an article about the phone call (Cuomo belatedly claimed he’d been speaking off the record), but even that public exposure has done little to quiet the storm.

The governor is right on one count: The rumors about him and his family are everywhere. In fact, so many are in the air that several major news organizations have hired private detectives and former city cops to help investigative reporters sort out the stories.

From the Archives: Mario Cuomo’s All-Star Family Feud

The family gathered at the three-day wake last fall for Charles Raffa, Mario Cuomo’s strong-willed, 84-year-old father-in-law. Matilda Cuomo, the governor’s youthful, dark­-haired wife, stood by the coffin with her 82-year-old mother, and the four other Raffa children helped greet visitors and accept condolences. Raffa had been an old-world patriarch, a man who believed deeply in the family, and the tab­leau at his wake suggested nothing to disappoint him.

But within a few weeks, members of the Raffa family were facing off against one another in a bitter feud over the legacy of their father, who died without fully recovering from a mysterious beating in 1984. The trouble began with the estate — largely commercial properties and homes — that Raffa left. Some estimates have placed its value as high as $13.8 million, though friends of the family say it’s closer to $5 million. In any case, the will has spawned an angry court battle, with the family bickering over who will control the money.

New York Governor Mario Cuomo Was A Mafia Denier

Mario Cuomo, the three-term governor of New York from 1983 to 1994, was a Mafia denier, and his administration did little to target the crime families. Indeed, he once infamously said that the Mafia's existence is "a lot of baloney" and it's just "a word invented by people."

When Gambino boss Paul Castellano was whacked in 1985 in front of Sparks Steak House in Manhattan the governor even "urged reporters to refrain from invoking the word Mafia in reference to the hit." Cuomo then criticized the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York for refusing to bury Castellano in sacred ground.

Cuomo once had presidential ambitions but abandoned them due to speculation about mob connections particularly involving father-in-law Charles Raffa who suffered a near-fatal beatdown in 1984 outside a vacant supermarket he owned in Brooklyn in a November 1987 cover story "Mario Cuomo and Those Mob Rumors" for New York magazine by Nick Pileggi.

Even though Mario Cuomo was a Mafia denier, William Fugazy, one of his earliest political supporters and bosom buddies, was a Genovese crime family associate. Fugazy founded the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations of which Cuomo was a member, and in 1986 the Governor appointed Fugazy to head the New York State Statue of Liberty Centennial Commission. Onetime Lucchese acting boss Al D'Arco testified in a 1997 trial that Bill Fugazy had ties to Genovese boss Vincent Gigante. Fugazy and Roy Cohn were co-promoters of the second and third Johansson-Patterson heavyweight title fights in 1961 and 1962, and Cohn’s ties to Fat Tony Salerno are extensive. In the mid-1960s Fugazy was a co-owner of Julius's Restaurant in Greenwich Village which during the late night and wee morning hours was converted to a gay bar.
