One other question that I'd like to get in here... I know that you're a great friend of Frank Sinatra. I don't know whether a lot of people have the same feeling that I do, but he certainly hasn't gotten very good publicity. Maybe there is something else that you'd like to add about him and what kind of person he is.

I think that Frank Sinatra is really Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He has his wonderful side and he has a dark side that I don't want to know anything about. I know the good side of Frank Sinatra. He is one of the kindest, most generous men that I ever have met. First of all, his charm is allpervading, not only with women, but with men. I can't exaggerate his generosity.

He will have his office do it. Almost every time he reads a newspaper there seems to be some needy case that catches that fellow's eye.

This is something that people don't know about him.
