...Guardian's American correspondent, gave him carte blanche to crisscross his favorite country and send back his impressions of it. It also afforded him access to the glamorous people he'd revered watching them on a Blackpool movie screen. (In the 1950s Cooke's traveling companions were his second wife Jane and their friends, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.) The famous somehow fell into his lap. Cooke was Greta Garbo's unofficial cigarette lighter, though he once said the most beautiful woman he'd ever met was Ava Gardner. They were charmed; he was blessed...
...about his wines and all those sorts of things,” Geller said. Geller said that the McCarthys have been considering stepping down from the post for several years. McCarthy said that, as masters with the second-longest tenure of those currently at the College, he and his wife felt comfortable leaving the House mastership because they are satisfied with the state in which they will leave Pforzheimer.

...well as givers of major past contributions. (What constitutes "major" is still under discussion, though a source involved in the conversation tells TIME that the figure is likely to be $1 million or more.)
