Fact #103962
When:
Short story:
While Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack are appearing at The Sands Hotel, Las Vegas, California, USA, Sinatra meets future US President John Kennedy for the first time.
Full article:
Ed Walters (staff member at Sands Hotel) : I saw him walking with Frank, and Frank just shined. He was so excited to be with Kennedy. Frank changed when he was with him.
He (Kennedy) was at The Sands to get laid. Kennedy had heard that all the big CEOs came in here under assumed names to have a good time. We were very discreet here.
Judith (mob-friendly woman Judith Exner) was put on him to keep him corralled. We wanted control. Remember we (the mob) were trying to operate legally. We were very worried about the Kennedys. We monitored all of his calls. We wanted to know who he was connected with.
The federal government was against us, and this was the future president.
