Gay Talese’s famous Sinatra profile in Esquire, published in April 1966.
Sinatra was ill. He was the victim of an ailment so common that most people would consider it trivial.

Frank Sinatra had a cold.In the article, Talese also describes Los Angeles as “a lovely city of sun and sex, a Spanish discovery of Mexican misery, a star land of little men and little women sliding in and out of convertibles in tense tight pants.”
