Love In The Time of Magic
 
In 1992, there was no shortage of reporting on the AIDS epidemic in America. E. Jean Carroll, lauded sex columnist, found a unique angle: the sexual revolution happening courtside at NBA games.

Few Knew Frank Sinatra Like Tony Oppedisano. For the First Time, He's Telling the Stories Behind Their Friendship.
 
The first time Tony Oppedisano met Frank Sinatra (a connection facilitated by Sinatra's confidante Jilly Rizzo at his namesake Manhattan club), the two immediately hit it off. Despite being decades younger than the superstar, Tony, then a fledgling singer, and Sinatra formed a close bond which stretched from the 1970s to the night of May 14, 1998, when Tony was in the hospital room, along with Frank's wife Barbara, when he passed away. In the intervening time, Tony O became one of Sinatra's best friends and closest consiglieri; a drinking and smoking buddy Sinatra could lend an ear to, a confidante to help him out or just a guy to goof around with. Tony O spoke to Esquire about his many Sinatra stories, from the singer's legendary love for women, Sinatra's role in the Chicago Outfit's influence in the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy, the death of Marylin Monroe, and whether or not Ronan Farrow is Frank's son after all. Read More

What's the Scariest Movie You Can Watch With Your Kids? To My Horror, I Found Out.
 
"One Saturday afternoon not long ago, I was sitting on the couch in our suburban New England home with my twin seven-year-old sons," writes Chris Nashawaty. "The morning snow that we had woken up to was turning into bleak afternoon slush and sleet, and our plans to go sledding were dashed. Suddenly we were stuck inside with hours to kill before dinner, bath, and bedtime. I started flipping through the cable guide and saw that Gremlins was just about to kick off on one of the lesser HBO channels. I hit record. Then I went into the kitchen to warm up three mugs of cocoa and told them to fasten their seat belts. They were about to witness a classic." Read More
