Victor Sifuentes sleeps with the fishes?

The first of two columns for today looks at "Cane" on CBS:

Since CBS' new Jimmy Smits drama "Cane" (10 p.m., Ch. 2) so liberally borrows from "The Godfather," I feel like the only way to discuss the show is with a series of quotes from Don Vito, Michael, Clemenza and company
