There are compensations for being the daughter of a famous father: one is that people write songs about you. Teddy Roosevelt's little girl, for example, inspired the 1919 ditty In My Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown. Frank Sinatra's elder daughter prompted the 1944 lullaby, Nancy with the Laughing Face...
Unfortunately, there was not always a lot for Nancy Sinatra to laugh about; during the first 25 years of her life, Laughing Face was as close as she ever came to fame. Now, however, with four hit records and two starring movie roles to her credit, she can claim to have made it on her own. Nancy, in fact, is lately being given the kind of celebrity treatment usually accorded her father. In Viet Nam, where she recently toured, 37 outfits generously named her their No. 1 pinup girl. She is currently negotiating a contract with the Pontiac people...
Garbage Somewhere. It does not seem to matter that Nancy can just barely carry a tune. The slick arrangements, the electronic doctoring and the charisma of the Sinatra name carry her along very well, just as they do her singer brother, Frank Jr., 23.

I think particular of the impressive collection of Robert Penn Warren, carrying us from 1923 to 1966 (Selected Poems)and the delicate one of Marianne Moore (Tell Me. Tell Me). To return to Lowell: not only does...
...jokes about skinny Frank Sinatra disappearing when he stood sideways kicked around for years. Now, of course, the not-as-thin-as-he-once-was man is married to an even wispier creature, Mia Farrow, 21. In Paris to pick up some frocks for her role in a spy film called A Dandy in Aspic, Mia wryly told a New York Times reporter: "I started wearing shifts, dresses without waists, about five years ago. I really have no waist. I'm kind...
