Later Years
In 1993, Philip Leonetti was released from prison after serving only five years. Since then, Leonetti has made television appearances in which he describes the mob life and his uncle's thirst for blood and power. However, Leonetti usually downplayed his own murderous deeds. Crazy Phil's son has apparently made his way to medical school after having the positive influence of the Leonetti family's new life, a fact that has made the aging former mob hitman, capo, underboss, and now government witness very proud.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Strange that the mind will forget so much of what only this moment has passed, and yet hold clear and bright the memory of what happened years ago with men and women long since dead.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
