...will concentrate on "initiating books, finding ideas and writers," according to Viking President Thomas Guinzburg, 49, a longtime Jackie friend who declined to discuss his new employee's salary. Lest anyone think that working will interfere with her evenings, Jackie promptly celebrated her job by catching Singer Frank Sinatra's act at Manhattan's Uris Theater and then adjourning to the "21" Club on the arm of Ol' Blue Eyes himself...

Not so Joe Raposo, 36, whose credits include ballads for Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters and Jose Feliciano, as well as the theme for Sesame Street. At ten, Raposo already showed the facility and ingenuity that are essential for a commercial composer. A piano student, he invented a two-handed speed method for orchestration.
