Hagen smiled at the Don. “That’s a good
investment for Nazorine. A son-in-law and a cheap lifetime helper in his bakery
all for two thousand dollars.” He paused. “Who do I give this job to?”
Don Corleone Soccer

Jew in the next district. Have the home addresses changed. I think there might
be many such cases now the war is over; we should have extra people in Washington
that can handle the overflow and not raise the price.” Hagen made a note on his
pad. “Not Congressman Luteco. Try Fischer.”
The next man Hagen brought in was a
very simple case. His name was Anthony Coppola and he was the son of a man Don
Corleone had worked with in the railroad yards in his youth. Coppola needed
five hundred dollars to open a pizzeria; for a deposit on fixtures and the
special oven. For reasons not gone into, credit was not available. The Don
reached into his pocket and took out a roll of bills. It was not quite enough.
He grimaced and said to Tom Hagen, “Loan me a hundred dollars, I’ll pay you
back Monday when I go to the bank.” The supplicant protested that four hundred
dollars would be ample, but Don Corleone Spanish La Liga soccer jersey wholesale
patted his shoulder, saying, apologetically, “This fancy wedding left me a
little short of cash.” He took the money Hagen extended to him and gave it to
Anthony Coppola with his own roll of bills. Hagen watched with quiet
admiration. The Don always taught that when a man was generous, he must show
the generosity as personal. How flattering to Anthony Coppola that a man like
the Don would borrow to loan him money. Not that Coppola did not know that the
Don was a millionaire but how many millionaires let themselves be put to even a
small inconvenience by a poor friend?
The Don raised his head inquiringly.

said, “He’s not on the list but Luca Brasi wants to see you. He understands it
can’t be public but he wants to congratulate you in person.” For the first time
the Don seemed displeased. The answer was devious. “Is it necessary?” he
asked.Hagen shrugged. “You understand him better than I do. But he was very
grateful that you invited him to the wedding. He never expected that. I think
he wants to show his gratitude.”Don Corleone nodded and gestured that Luca
Brasi should be brought to him.
In the garden Kay Adams was struck by
the violet fury imprinted on the face of Luca Brasi. She asked about him.

had brought Kay to the wedding so that she would slowly and perhaps without too
much of a shock, absorb the truth about his father. But so far she seemed to
regard the Don as a slightly unethical businessman. Michael decided to tell her
part of the truth indirectly. He explained that Luca Brasi was one of the most
feared men in the Eastern underworld. His great talent, it was said, was that
he could do a job of murder all by himself, without confederates, which
automatically made discovery and conviction by the law almost impossible.
Michael grimaced and said, “I don’t know whether all that stuff is true. I do
know he is sort of a friend to my father.”
