...staff, which was able last week to produce, on short notice, tickets to the opening night of Tosca at the Metropolitan Opera for Poland's Jaruzelski. New York hotels are braced for the onslaught. The venerable Waldorf-Astoria, well trained in the care and feeding of outsize egos (Frank Sinatra and Lee Iacocca maintain permanent residences in the Waldorf Towers), employs a "flagman," whose sole duty is to keep track of the 115 foreign flags that the hotel keeps on hand and to fly the right ones for VIP guests. Since 40 foreign delegations are booked into Waldorf suites...
...Summers devotes most of his book to relatively unpublicized griefs, including a dozen abortions, several suicide attempts, and inconclusive liaisons with scores of men, from anonymous pickups to Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Yves Montand. With the help of some 600 new interviews, Summers proposes but does not prove several dark scenarios, including the destruction of records linking Marilyn with her last lover, Robert Kennedy. Ultimately, Goddess portrays a born victim, an essentially simple soul far out of her depth. Her psychiatrist tells it all in one sentence.

...been used by the Nazis in World War II. USIA Director Wick has made combatting Soviet propaganda a personal crusade. On occasion, he has gone overboard.

...person shelling out $1 for each chance to choose two sets of six numbers. In Manhattan the queues were so long and contained such a variety of people that an unaware visitor might have assumed it was the eve of a joint concert by Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Lawrence Welk. But the tickets, belched out by computers at a peak rate of 22,000 a minute, bought admission to something else: the Great American Get- Rich-Quick Fantasy. As what the tabloids promptly dubbed Lotto Lunacy became epidemic, some 4,000 outlets across the state handled...
...psychedelic yellow Phantom V. Lord Mountbatten bought a new one nearly every year. Indian maharajas ordered them gold-plated, Lawrence of Arabia covered his with armor. Field Marshal Montgomery's Rolls was the first private car to land with Allied forces on D day. Other owners have included Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and the Michael Jackson clan, who are said to own eight among them. Queen Elizabeth has five Rolls-Royces and was disturbed when she saw the new square side mirrors on her latest, a 1978 Phantom VI. Company officials scrambled to replace them with the old round version...
