...most Americans, the fifth Lord Harlech is the sometime walking, traveling and concertgoing companion of Jacqueline Kennedy and the man widely rumored to be her transatlantic suitor. Many also remember him as Britain's highly successful Ambassador to Washington under John Kennedy. In Britain, however, Harlech is increasingly drawing attention as a man of versatile talents who is making his mark on British life and business. Harlech is already Britain's national film censor and rates as a potentially influential Tory politician. Recently, he took on a multimillion-dollar private venture as the chief executive...
...last attempt to do him honor in England's Westminster Abbey ended in 1924 when the then dean, Dr. Herbert E. Ryle, snorted that "his openly dissolute life and licentious verse earned him a worldwide reputation for immorality." Yet in today's easygoing society, George Gordon Lord Byron seems less of a satyr than a swinger; so a group of Byron buffs led by Derek Parker, editor of the Poetry Review, and Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis have petitioned that he receive his proper niche in the abbey's Poets' Corner. Their word was good enough...
Knight has never fancied himself a domineering press lord. Preferring to call his papers a group, not a chain, he encourages local autonomy, and his papers make the most of it. The Detroit Free Press (circ. 605,000), the Miami Herald (369,600), the Charlotte Observer (177,950), the Akron Beacon Journal (178,147), the Charlotte News (63,772) and the Tallahassee Democrat (29,300) are all increasing their circulation and are highly profitable. With interests in one television and three radio stations as well as three Florida weeklies, the group's total revenues reached $123 million...
Miniaturized Surgery. After a year in London working with Britain's noted heart surgeon Lord Brock, Cooley returned to his native Houston and was associated at Baylor University College of Medicine with Surgeon Michael E. DeBakey (TIME cover, May 28, 1965). The DeBakey-Cooley team at Methodist Hospital pioneered many innovations in heart surgery before Cooley moved next door to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, which is also affiliated with Baylor. There he has established an independent reputation as one of the greatest of heart surgeons and almost certainly the world's greatest in the incredibly difficult...
...bass beat through the whole record that makes all the sound vaguely similar. 2) The language: he puts his songs in the country idiom (instead of the hip) by using a lot of twisted cliches, saying "whom" a lot instead of "who," and throwing awe-struck interjections to "the Lord" into the speech of his characters. 3) The stories in his songs: he's put plots with beginnings and endings and protagonists other than himself into the songs. Some of his earlier songs--Corrina, Corrina, and Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance -- are heavy imitations of Country & Western sound...
