Edward Roscoe Murrow y en
vocabulario: Be taken aback
—I understand
that the two of you have a very much publicized courtship. How
did you two meet?
La larga lista de invitados incluyó a Elizabeth
Taylor, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis…
Edward
Roscoe Murrow fue periodista y corresponsal de
guerra. Ganó prominencia durante la Segunda
Guerra Mundial con una serie de transmisiones de radio en vivo desde Europa para la división de noticias de CBS.
En 1953, Murrow
lanzó un programa de televisión semanal, una serie de entrevistas a
celebridades titulada Person to Person.
El programa fue bien planeado pero no estrictamente
escrito, con hasta seis cámaras e iluminación de TV instaladas para cubrir los
movimientos del huésped a través de su hogar, y un enlace de microondas para
transmitir las señales de regreso a la red. Los invitados usaban micrófonos
inalámbricos para escuchar sus voces mientras se movían por la casa. Las
entrevistas se hicieron en vivo.

Person to Person classic: JFK and Jacqueline
Sen. John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline,
were interviewed by Edward R. Murrow in
their Boston apartment one month
after they were married in 1953. The new bride was taken aback when Murrow asked her what requires more
diplomacy--her old job as a reporter, or being married.
—The Kennedys
were married last month. They´re still looking for a place to live in
Washington. On weekdays they stay up in Boston but so much for the history.
Let´s go and meet the newlywed. Are you there, senator?
—Yes. We´re right
here Mr. Murrow.
—Good evening,
sir. Good evening, Mrs. Kennedy.
—Good evening.
—I understand
that the two of you have a very much publicized courtship. How did you two
meet?
—We met at the
house of a friend, about 2 years ago.
—And you used to
be a reporter, didn´t you?
—Yes, I did.
—And you first
met the senator when you first interviewed him.
—Well. I
interviewed him shortly after I met him.
—Now, which
requires the most diplomacy? To interview a senator or to be married to one?
—Well, I think…
—Being married
to one, I guess.
—Have you opened
all your wedding gifts?
—Well, I opened
quite a few and I sent them all to Washington, which I´ll have a couple back
here.
—Senator, I
wonder if you can show us around the apartment a bit.
—Certainly, I
will. Mr Murrow. I remember when you went over to England and I thought you
might remember this picture that was taken when my family rolled over there in
1939 and my father was ambassador
—Oh, I remember it
very well. There he is in the center, isn´t he?
—Yes. That´s
right. I have my eight brothers and sisters. At that time we were all taken
together. It brings back happy memories. My wife is back.
—I brought you
one of our wedding presents which I think is Jack´s favorite, which has been
rolling around the apartment.
—Well, this is a
present from Jim Furrow who was in charge of… when I was in college at Harvard
and still doing it...
Vocabulario
