She was in fact Vito's grand-daughter. Neither she nor her parents were involved in "the family" business, but the name was sufficient to disqualify her.<br /><br />The fact that a woman named Kitty Genovese was a well-known crime victim was no counter-weight.<br /><br />When it comes to staffing offices... I recall after 9/11 someone in a DA's office made a remark to an aide about an incident, "Did he have a diaper on his head?" The aide complained about the explicit racism in the remark, and the DA fired him. Courts ruled that the DA had unrestricted discretion to choose his own staff.<br /><br />Perhaps it works the other way in hiring.
