"He was the first singer to reach the-er-great body of American women." Frank disagrees. "I don't really think it was sex," he says, and many psychiatrists agree. "Mammary hyperesthesia," muttered one. Sinatra's voice, said another doctor, was in the early days "an authentic cry of starvation."

For example, more in the interest of slam-bang headlines than from political conviction, Britain's popular dailies outdid each other the minute the U.S. made the announcement in March 1954 of the destructive powers of the hydrogen bomb.
