"Yes, it's true, but it's nobody's goddam business," grumped Frank last week, suggesting that he had had high hopes of keeping his proposal a secret.

Maxine Cheshire, the Washington Post society columnist, approached Barbara Marx in the hotel lobby and introduced herself. Sinatra exploded. "Get away from me, you scum. Go home and take a bath.
