People: Apr. 28, 1986
Introduction to Ol' Blue Eyes 101, a 70-year survey examining the theme "Growth: how to achieve and do it properly." No reading, but extensive listening to records required. Lecturer: Frank Sinatra, Sh.D. (doctor of showbizology). Last week some 400 students turned up at the Yale Law School auditorium to hear the Chairman of the Board deliver that class-by-himself course. Asked to speak on personal achievement, Sinatra responded characteristically to protesters critical of his appearance at South Africa's Sun City resort five years ago: "I'll go anywhere I want to go, anytime I want to go." Other pointers on life: "Keep working at it until it never fails you." And "I believed everything I was doing was right."
