...evening broadcast from New York for the BBC. (His 1,000th broadcast was what provoked the Guardian's praising with faint damns.) Cooke, 59, takes obvious delight in confounding the usual cliches about the U.S., in praising what is denounced, in minimizing what's exaggerated, in try ing to persuade his audience to give up the "easy joys of righteous indignation."He is a master of the unexpected, whether it is defending Douglas MacArthur or Lyndon Johnson when Europeans are screaming for their scalps, or whether it is dismissing Kennedy assassination theories as nonsense.

It got out of hand after Mia, in her mini mini, danced until the wee hours at a Burton party at London's Dorchester Hotel, then turned up absent from the scene next morning. After a couple...
Three U.S. manufacturers are mak ing and testing rubella vaccines. All are based upon a virus strain isolated by Pediatricians Harry M. Meyer Jr. and Paul D. Parkman at the National Institutes of Health. Merck Sharp & Dohme grows the attenuated (weakened though still "live") virus in fertilized duck eggs; Eli Lilly & Co. grows it in cultures of monkeys' kidney cells, while Philips Roxane Laboratories uses dogs' kidney cells. All told, the three companies have had about 20,000 children inoculated in pilot studies...
