...Cleveland Institute of Music. To the Loessers, popular music was infra dig, but Frank loved it. Like the cantor's son in The Jazz Singer, or pert Owl Jolson in the Tex Avery cartoon I Love to Sing-a, he had to battle his family's resistance to mainstream pop.

He bought an Israeli soccer team, Beitar, whose fans are mainly working-class Likud supporters known to chant "death to the Arabs" from the stands. He also owns a basketball team...
