...accomplished. "It's a particular type of religious devotion," says a former student of Rinpoche's, "where you surrender all your critical faculties to a guru." Whatever it is, initiates have a tendency to tell uninitiates, it is inexplicable unless one is an initiate. This is when Frank Sinatra used to come in with a line like "Hey, whatever gets you through the night...
...stop being coy. Is this not, above all, the bread that Frank Sinatra eats, having 50 loaves at a time shipped to his home near Palm Springs, Calif.? It is. And while nobody on Seventh Avenue needs the Chairman of the Board to tell them what they can taste between their own two lips, still it is gratifying, like an endorsement from the Queen of England. On the wall over the cash register, Sinatra's picture hangs next to the Pope's and St. Gerard's, a local patron...
...reasonable to wonder, if Kennedy had lived and been re-elected, whether he would have got through a second term without a devastating scandal.

Gaudio, 46, is a composer, pianist, arranger and producer who has worked...
Following that purist philosophy, he dislikes such popular favorites as Linda Ronstadt (he actually sneers when he mentions her name), Frank Sinatra ("too hip for me") and Ella Fitzgerald. "Unquestionably a beautiful voice," he says of Ella, "but I never got a sense she connected with the lyrics. She never churned my kishkes -- that's Yiddish for intestines." His list of favorites is just as idiosyncratic. It includes Minnelli, of course, but also Rosemary Clooney ("she does everything a singer should do"), Gogi Grant ("she has an emotional intensity and is much underrated") and Martha Raye ("her voice was like...
