...confidence. In the '40s, married to his doting first wife Nancy, he was the heartthrob balladeer who sang I'll Be Seeing You to World War II G.I.s and their sweethearts. In the '50s, the persona went to war with the man. Sinatra at ballad tempo was the soul-sick, lovelorn, solitary man who closes down a midtown saloon. Up-tempo, and increasingly in his life, he was the unapologetic and (some said) unconscionable swinger, the ring-a-ding ringmaster of a million all-night parties.

Ever since Titanic set sail, "DiCaprio" has been the most searched-for word on Pathfinder, Time Inc.'s website, relegating the Coke and Pepsi of the search-word business--"sex" and "Bill Gates"--to also-rans. Leo searches are especially frenzied from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Schoolgirls coming home, I figure, as the sweet spot of the time zone rolls west...
