C. and the Legat at Havana, Cuba. Serial 922 - Photostatic copy of letter dated 8/28/51 to Director signed "Justifiably puzzled citizen". Letter as follows: "A large aggregation of people are puzzled about something, which has been recently called to the public&#39;s attention through an article in the August edition of the American Mercury&#39; magazine. This article pertains to gangsters in the night clubs and other media of entertainment and it specifically mentions FRANK SIHATRA as having aided gangsters and narcotic traders. It also mentions that your T-men were present in Havana when SINATRA made the plans trip with th Fischetti brothers, andithat he carried the-suitcase supposedly containing the money for Luciano. From the article, the data for which was taken from the Treasury Department records, you will find that SINATRA is the close friend of Moretti, the Fischettis, Capone, Adonis cousin to Moretti, and Luciano. There is much campaigning on the part of the Government, the press, and the radio, all of whom have been carrying extensive articles and programs in an effort to rid the country of this demoralizing situation, drug addiction, particularly among the youth of the natior SINATRA is supposedly the symbol of the underprivileged youth of America. That is the saddest mistake ever. He is synonymous withh everything undersirable and from which youth should be protected and I hope you will concur that he is not the type of personality to have in the entertainment field and.before the youngsters who emulate his pattern and feel it&#39;s perfectly all right to achieve a success that way. People now feel that SINATRA should be forced to withdraw from the amusement world. Reader&#39;s Digest, of September, carries two excellent articles; one on drug addiction among the young and one on Lucky Luciano. The press and other publications and the radio are hammering at this outrageous and scandalous condition existing among the young. Why is SINATRA permitted to continue when he is a friend of these very criminals? What we would like to knw right not is why was not SINATRA picked up in Havana when he arrived with the Fischettis? The T-men were on the scene for the express purpose of meeting that plane inasmuch as they had information with regard to the trip. Suppose through lack of evidence your men were not able to arrest SINATRA, but don&#39;t you arrest suspects, more particularly in such a serious matter? It is a knwn fact that entertainers are &#39;used&#39; for such purposes, but when a particular entertainer is a 92 cowrmuazn on 1=ucQ3.

  • Noel Bon Tempo TAH September 27, 2012 the Life of Frank Sinatra
    Noel Bon Tempo TAH September 27, 2012 The life of Frank Sinatra spans the majority of the 20th Century. He entered the world in Hoboken, New Jersey, on December 12, 1915. He died on May 14, 1998. His cultural impact is the subject of Pete Hamill’s extended essay, “Why Sinatra Matters.” Hamill knew Sinatra. He spoke with Hamill on numerous occasions in the 1970’s and 1980’s in anticipation of writing a biography of the singer. Frank Sinatra was the son of immigrants. He was a high school dropout who worked dead-end jobs while dreaming of becoming a singer. He never learned to read music and became, arguably, the most accomplished and famous musician of the 20th Century. Hamill’s work is “. an unusually thoughtful contribution to the growing body of literature of appreciation of Sinatra as an artist, a supreme interpreter of the great American popular song.” (Kirkus Review) Hamill focuses his investigation of Sinatra’s life on his rise to stardom from his hard-scrabble days in Hoboken to his fall from grace in the late 1940’s to his stunning comeback in the 1950’s. As such, this is a story of redemption and reinvention. This type of story strikes a particular chord in the American psyche. Begun by Benjamin Franklin’s “Autobiography”, affirmed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sinatra’s story of redemption is modeled by his contemporaries such as Malcolm X and Richard Nixon, and in contemporary society by Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey. (Redemptiveself) Sinatra’s life exemplifies some of the major cultural and social movements of the 20th Century.

  • Naval Intelligence and the Mafia in World War Ii
    NAVAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE MAFIA IN WORLD WAR II By Rear Admiral Tom Brooks, USN (ret) (Author's note: Organized crime along the New York City waterfront during the 1940s and 1950s was usually referred to as "the mob", or "the underworld". The term "Mafia" did not come into general use until a decade or more later. Because "Mafia" is the commonly-used term today, it is used throughout this article. During World War II, many people would not even have known what the term meant). Before launching into the fascinating story of Naval Intelligence and the Mafia, it is necessary to understand a little of how Naval Intelligence was organized and operated prior to and during World War Two (WWII). The attack on Pearl Harbor and Germany's declaration of war found Naval Intelligence scrambling to put in place the infrastructure required to support the war effort. Within the continental United States, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) was charged with security of ports and naval installations against sabotage, intelligence collection and counterintelligence, security and background investigations, as well as censorship (later moved to a separate organization). These responsibilities were assigned to the District Intelligence Offices (DIOs) of the Naval Districts, where they were executed by the District Intelligence Officers, who reported to the District Commandants as well as to ONI. Fortuitously, ONI had seen that war was coming and, in the mid thirties, began in earnest to build up a corps of reserve officers known as the Naval Intelligence Volunteer Service. Designated Intelligence Volunteer (Specialist), these officers were recruited from the ranks of lawyers, newspapermen, investigators, shipping industry executives, linguists, and other fields which might prove necessary to the Navy in time of war.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
