The absurdity of it, I guess. I've actually been listening to a lot of Sinatra since he died, and have been hearing it differently than I ever did. Lately I've been noticing his restraint in so many of the songs, how carefully he's just laying the words out there, not making more out of it, not reaching for melodrama, even when the words would support it. He's so easy about it. Never really heard that before.

A new bill would make it cheaper and easier than ever for U.S. arms manufacturers to export military equipment. All letters to the editor are for publication and may be edited for length and clarity.
