By that time, all the Old School Bosses, Capos and soldiers were either dead or imprisoned.

I was working in the Truman ER circa early 90's. We had a policy of no questions asked about knife and gunshot wounds that were life threatening. Worked on several gangsters. Some had multiple body guards that looked like a SNL skit on gangsters.
They were very serious dudes. They all had the vibe about them that they had killed people and wouldn't hesitate to kill someone else. Gave off a serious vibe of we are dangerous men, don't **** with us.
