...Frank Sinatra keeps doing things his way, he may soon have to begin his second retirement. Now completing a five-country singing tour through Europe, Frank found his blue eyes staring into empty seats in West Germany last week. Half the 10,000 seats in Munich's Olympia Hall were vacant for his first concert, and a second performance in Frankfurt fared almost as badly, causing Sinatra to cancel an appearance in Berlin and refund more than $85,000 to organizers of his West German tour. "Sinatra just is not part of the nostalgia wave now rolling over Germany...
...other schools, students have flocked to special job-hunting courses. Stanford, for example, is offering seniors special courses in Survival Tactics in the Job Market, How to Blow an Interview, and Opportunities in Biology. Frank Heuston, a career counselor at Northeastern, is teaching a special eight-hour seminar in how to land a job.

Two reforms suggested by some lawyers and politicians are 1) cutting down on legal battling by giving a tax break to company shareholders if they agree to a Government-sought divestiture; and 2) eliminating antitrust trials entirely by having Congress legislate divestiture for specific industries. Whatever the merits, neither course seems likely of adoption, at least not without a battle as long as a major antitrust trial...
Halfway through the eighth, my third game out this year--I think the Sox were behind, but with a nice night and a couple of beers, maybe passing around a joint, even the Ford City sky-writing planes, let alone the Fenway Frank ones, can seem friendly and informal--these two kids ran out into right field, opposite the green wall dividing Fenway from the city. The wall's thinness is something else I can't get used to. You take the subway out to Shea, too, all right, the elevated IRT jammed with happy kids and determined teenagers...
