There, but for the grace of God...
These are the stories that single people dread. The remains of a Croatian woman were found by police in front of the woman's television in her living room in Zagreb. She had died sitting in her chair with a cup of tea at her side. But here's the kicker-- she was last seen in 1966. As Yogi Berra would say-- Only in America.---
Frank Sinatra died 10 years ago this week. This month, he became one of the original inductees of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Bruce Springsteen does the honors.

From The Des Moines Register online today:
Throughout the crowds waiting to enter the security gates or to get their volunteer assignments at the Obama rally, there is confidence the Illinois senator will be the next president of the United States...
Mike Newell of Urbandale said he heard conservative Des Moines talk show host Steve Deace on the radio bemoaning the Des Moines turnout for Republican presidential candidate John McCain on May 1. About 250 people attended an event at the Polk County Convention Complex.“Whatever we do let’s make as much noise as possible and mock the WHO studio down the street,” Newell told a team of volunteers.
Is that Mike Newell, the Iowa Public Television producer? The same guy who did sports at WHO Radio throughout the 1980s and 90s. That's hilarious if it is. Way to go, Mike!

I just finished reading Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather.” I highly recommend it. The book develops the Johnny Fontane/Frank Sinatra character much more than the motion picture does.
TA
That one I've read, unlike the "Eight Men Out" source material. Puzo, though, has always maintained that Johnny Fontane was not meant to be Sinatra.
As I recall,the book also develops in much greater detail the scene in which Sonny has the bridesmaid up against the bedroom door.
Frank Sinatra was set to play Harry Callahan in "Dirty Harry" before an injury forced him out.
I love Frank, but...
