...silly and sweet and they were girls and they were feminine and sexy. I just saw myself in them, my funniness and my need to boss people around and at the same time be taken care of. My girlishness. My knowingness and my innocence. Both. And I remember Nancy Sinatra singing These Boots Are Made for Walkin' and that made one hell of an impression on me. And when she said, "Are you ready, boots, start walkin'," it was like, yeah, give me some of those go-go boots. I want to walk on a few people...
...like it is, who grabs for gusto, who damns the torpedoes and plunges full speed ahead. He is a high- strung, stand-up guy, the consummate can-do guy, a guy who enjoys spending time in the company of other guys: duck hunting in Canada, drinking Scotch with Frank Sinatra at Manhattan's "21" Club, hanging around the Yankee dugout during spring training...
Iacocca's life is not loaded with leisure.

...Brynner, think of Kojak, think of Picasso goatishly chasing girls at 90. But despite such supposed proclivities, bald men are also said to look wise (think of Henry James or Oswald Spengler) and statesmanlike (John Glenn?). All well and good, but prejudices persist. Given a choice, Frank Sinatra decided on hair transplants, and Burt Reynolds acquired a toupee. When are we likely to elect our next bald President...
