If you want a shock, check out Sinatra in "Anchors Aweigh." Made in 1945,
it was the second movie on
which the novice actor got top billing -- above Gene Kelly. Decked
out in a sailor suit, as thin and chiseled as Jean-Louis Barrault (or Leonardo
DiCaprio), he looks like an ethereal Brooklyn Pan. A sailors-on-leave musical
-- like his later, great "On the Town" -- the movie casts Frank as a sweet,
dumb, eager kid -- a goober named
Clarence Doolittle who’s
desperate to learn from the wolfish Kelly how to pick up broads. Sinatra’s
cute and ingratiating, and you can’t help but marvel at how well he holds
his own in the athletic dance numbers with Kelly. But the notion that
this waif is the future Chairman of the Board seems absurd. He’s clearly
a lightweight, an actor whose
career seems fated to second banana parts.

Robert Stone never knew his father, who
skipped out of his life when he was a baby, leaving him to cope with
a schizophrenic mother and a series of Catholic schools and orphanages where, he says, he "learned to spell, learned grammar, learned Latin -- the only foreign language in
which I ever had a literary experience -- and got hit a lot."
And though Stone, at 61, refuses to feel sorry for his abandoned young
self ("I had a fine childhood," he says firmly, deflecting sympathy), the
story of his genesis is echoed in all of the big, brilliant novels he
has written since, especially in his fascination with the absconding
God of Jewish mysticism, the God who
abandons his creation, leaving behind both tantalizing bits of himself
and all of us, long for what those divine fragments suggest we have lost.

Just days after signaling the rebirth of Apple Computer with the unveiling
of a bold new line of hardware, interim CEO Steve Jobs went for the guts.
He told software developers at a conference last week that
Apple would scrap the Gil Amelio-initiated plan to offer two separate operating
systems -- the standard Mac OS and one called Rhapsody, a
technology that
came with the 1997 NeXT acquisition. Instead, it will make a hybrid that
blends the two called
Mac OS X ("Ten"). Apple says programmers will be able to easily "tune up"
old Mac programs to take advantage of new features like crashproof stability
and faster networking.

As long as I can remember I’ve been enthralled by the sea. But I’ve always
been more interested in what goes on underneath the waves than on the surface.
To me the surface of the ocean is beautiful but ultimately boring. As a
boy walking along a California beach, I always found things the
ocean washed up on the shore more interesting than the crashing surf.
I was fascinated by the marine life you
could discover in tidal pools. As a teenager, I became a scuba diver
rather than a surfer and began to discover the world just
beneath the surface. As an adult scientist, I began to go deeper still.
But I wasn’t particularly interested in shipwrecks. Up to the time the
Titanic entered my head, the only wreck I’d
had anything to do with was a sailboat I
had helped a friend salvage and raise.
