frank sinatra has a cold

"Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" ran in April 1966 and became one of the most celebrated magazine stories ever published. By Gay Talese

Cinema Tarantino: The Making of Pulp Fiction

The first independent film to gross more than $200 million, Pulp Fiction was a shot of adrenaline to Hollywood’s heart, reviving John Travolta’s career, making stars of Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman, and turning Bob and Harvey Weinstein into giants.

once an eagle

Once An Eagle, a novel by Anton Myrer, was published in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. Over forty years later, this classic novel of soldiers and soldiering remains in print, having sold well over three million copies. It remains a fixture on the Marine Corps Commandant’s Reading List, as well as other military professional reading lists.

team of rivals

"Team of Rivals" is about men, not men and women. It does not range over the home front of factories and farms in the manner of "No Ordinary Time." It focuses on Washington and on the men who ran the war, chiefly Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Stanton. Within that sphere Goodwin has brilliantly described how Lincoln forged a team that preserved a nation and freed America from the curse of slavery. (From The New York Times Book Review, 11/06/2005).
