Dear Diary,

Mother passed a remark tonight to the effect the Jean White likes Frank Sinatra as much as I like Bob. Four months ago Jean said she liked Tyrone Power as much as I liked Bob. Before that it had been Sterling Hayden, then Dennis Morgan, the Ronald Reagan, then Alan Ladd. Now it’s Frank Sinatra. Just to point out the contrast, Jean went to a show tonight, even though it’s the night of F. S.’s radio program. How many of Bob’s programs have a missed in three years?
