Sinatra ties to gangsters haunt Las Vegas saga
A long account traces Frank Sinatra’s links to mob figures from New Jersey to Nevada. It details 1950s and 1960s allegations of meetings with Giancana at Cal Neva, threats over subpoena, and efforts to sell Nevada interests amid license investigations. It notes Steve D’Amato’s bribery attempt, board and governor pressure, and Sinatra’s repeated associations with underworld figures despite public backlash.

Slogan for Rocky’s enemies and a frontier of odd musings
A collage of gossip and quips from New York and beyond. Nelson Rockefeller mocked with a slogan about buying a used Rolls Royce, Living Room club closing for a steakhouse, Don Stewart’s dinner jacket joke, and a vanished coat incident. A Virginia governor quips about modesty, Dallas chili chef George Wright boasts secret ingredients backed by Clint Muehison Jr. Chinese UN staffers joke about lip reading, Joe’s Pier 52 tab, and a reporter’s language note. Entertainment buzz includes Elliot Gould plotting a Broadway role, Cy Monard finishing film days, Mel Brooks with an underwater camera, and Aretha Franklin calling on lyrics. A changing-room joke from a London stage, Aretha, Ringo Starr, Ethel Merrie, and other tidbits fill the page with celebrity chatter and wry lines.
