A legalistic follower, rather than an initiator, Frick the servant increasingly lost favour with his master, apparently because he misunderstood the basic nature of the Fuhrer's governance. Whereas the Third Reich thrived on inconsistencies, rivalries, and constant evolutionary change, Frick's juristic mind longed for order and legal stabilization. The incongruity was insuperable and it was thus logical enough that in 1943 the minister, whose share of practical power had rapidly diminished in the second half of the 1930s, ultimately even lost his official post.Udo Sautter, Canadian Journal of History For example, in 1933 he tried to restrict the widespread use of "protective custody" orders that were used to send people to concentration camps, only to be begged off by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler.

Sinatra showed up for the first two days of intended tracking sessions but begged off laying down any vocals, the first day because he did not like being isolated in a vocal booth as intended by recording engineer Al Schmitt. On the second day, Hank Cattaneo (Co-Producer), suggested to Ramone, Schmitt and Pat Williams, that they create a small elevated stage set-up for Sinatra to stand on, and to place Bill Miller and his piano adjacent to Frank within the open- air stage/booth to make the recording session feel more like a live performance. However, Sinatra said his voice was not in optimal condition.

Despite pointing out on more than one occasion that he didn't actually answer to the station sergeant, Hasham formed a strong bond with Tom Croydon over their time working together, built on their mutual respect for one another. Although he frequently begged off from taking part in anything he felt was "a job for the uniforms", he was known on occasion to complete tasks unrelated to criminal investigations, including at least one occasion where he helped the Traffic Branch with random breath testing. Hasham wasn't always particularly close to his colleagues, but he was always willing to get together at the end of the day with a couple of beers at the Imperial Hotel. Other than Tom, his closest friend on the force was probably Nick Schultz, with whom he often teamed up to tease the junior constables at the station, and with whom he shared a house for some time.
