It must be noted in all fairness that this latest incomium iconium only rerepsents a consensus, including Richard Nixon, who once compared Frank Sinatra to the Washington Monument.Īre we being as unjust to Frank Sinatra in our own way as his genuflecting eulogists have been on the other side of excess? Perhaps. We're talking about ''heroic self-generation'' - and we're talking about the king of the cult of the swooners, those men with melting eyes and knowing little swoops to their baritones who make the customers in Las Vegas turn back their clocks and squeal like teen-agers. We're talking about ''friendship'' - and we're talking, for the most part, about finger-popping invitations to come fly with me. We're talking about ''knowledge'' and ''reflection'' - and we're talking about inquiring questions like how deep is the ocean, how high is the sky? Just to put the matter in perspective, we're talking about ''compelling spiritual conviction'' - and we're talking about a lot of doin' it my way. But we almost felt sorry for ''Old Blue Eyes'' - ''The Chairman of the Board,'' ''The Leader of the Rat Pack'' - being treated as something halfway between a genius and a saint.

May we have a little fanfare from Nelson Riddle or Axel Stordahl or Gordon Jenkins? For the subject of this study in ''greatness'' (to quote again) is none other than Frank Sinatra. But we hear somebody say, ''I give up.'' And we hear another voice in the back cry: ''I could never guess - not in a million years.'' Well, we could prolong the suspense indefinitely. One imagines the words ringing out in a Stockholm awards ceremony: ''great tenderness, compassion, and joy.'' The dedicated fellow had to be a French philosopher at the least! Or maybe a Nobel Prize-winning poet from Latin America. This was a person who searched out in his life ''every avenue of possibility except religion.'' Among the byways specifically explored: ''knowledge, reflection, friendship.'' Had we stumbled upon still another anniversary piece on Martin Luther? The description of austere moral purpose certainly fitted.īut wait.

We were dealing here, it seemed, in ''heroic feats of self-generation.'' The hero under consideration was somebody with ''a compelling spiritual conviction'' who, by his feats, was ''gaining in the struggle a reason for going on.'' While we were leafing through a magazine the other day at a reckless clip - we admit it! - these really awe-inspiring phrases began to leap off the page and slow us down.
