Shortly after 11 p.m., the giant tote board signals that America has given $1 million. Live, from Atlantic City, via the magic of television. Francis Albert Sinatra. The Chairman can't really be classed with Wayne and Tony. He is them plus talent, class, and a little subtlety, cool sophistication one step above rhinestoned trying-very-hard glamor. Sinatra sings "New York, New York," which will be sung by at least six other performers during the show, and does it a little wryly, not just the simple "If I can make it there I can make it anywhere" Babbitry...

Carnes and her husband Dave Ellingson have collaborated on songs recorded by Sinatra (You Turned My World Around) and Streisand (Love Comes from Unexpected Places), keeping themselves comfortably off the dole while they waited for Kim's career to take off.

...prudent to keep a little on guard when talking about the figurative batterings of childhood. In Jeffreys' case, though, that turmoil seems to lie at the core of his music. Certainly it is what turned him to music in the first place. He remembers his mother playing Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday and the Mills Brothers, and he remembers, too, singing along with those old 78s by the time he was four. As he got older, he started listening to rhythm and blues: Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and, most of all, Frankie Lymon, whose high-flying vibrato could...

Donovan raised some $600,000 for Reagan's campaign and hosted a $200,000 fund raiser, featuring Frank Sinatra, at a country club owned by Schiavone Construction. Co-host of the event was Insurance Executive William McCann, who has been appointed Ambassador to Ireland. During the campaign, Reagan attended a rally with Donovan at a New York City site where Schiavone Construction, with the help of Masselli's Jo-Pel Contracting, was working on a new midtown subway tunnel. A source familiar with the construction project told TIME that Donovan introduced Masselli and another man indicted with...
