  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE MYTH OF THE WIDE-OPEN TOWN Virgil W. Peterson The following was delivered as an address by the author on June 30 in Miami be- fore the newly-organized Law Enforcement Institute of Dade County, Florida. Mr. Peterson is Operating Director of the Chicago Crime Commission. He is an Associate Editor of this JOURNAL. In our last volume he published two major articles: "Why Honest People Steal," in Number 2 (July-August, 1947) and "Facts and Fancies in Crime Prevention," in Number 5 (January-February, 1948).-EDITOR. Government consists of institutionalized social relations. And according to some of our most learned scholars on government, all social relations are "myth-born and myth-sustained." In the field of municipal government, a myth has been developed and sustained in many cities that a wide-open town policy is good for business; it increases wealth, prosperty and happiness; the gov- ernment that pursues the wide-open town policy is a good one and is deserving of public support.
