...Nancy Sinatra-the "Mini Mata Hari" [May 5]: No voice, no talent, not attractive, a college dropout, already divorced, but in her favor an illustrious Hollywood name. And you have the nerve to tell us that "she can claim to have made it on her own." Come off it, TIME. Had she been born Nancy Smith or Nancy Sumatra, she'd be working at Woolworth...
