USA: NEW YORK: THANKSGIVING PARADE
Natural Sound
Thursday is the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States - and if it's Turkey Day, then it must also be parade day.
All over the U-S Thanksgiving is marked by pre-feast parades, and as usual, the biggest one of them all is through the streets of New York City.
Spirits remained high among the hardy souls who lined up for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
With a motorcycle escort, the 1999 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was off.
A sea of umbrellas and rain coats mingled with defiant smiles as crowds a dozen deep braved the elements and lined up for the parade.
Despite a chilly rain, the crowds packed New York City sidewalks to take in the annual event that marks the American holiday.
This year's version, the 73rd Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, featured balloons, dozens of floats and bands and hundreds of clowns - delighting both young and old.
It featured more than 25 balloons and novelties floating high above Broadway on Thursday morning.
Old-time favourites, including the Snoopy and Garfield balloons, as well as newer ones, took the trip down Broadway this year.
The Muppets and Big Bird were also there, too.
More than a dozen marching bands from across American took part.
After toughing out the damp and drizzle, many in the crowd headed home to a warm Thanksgiving Day dinner.

Russell Baker, author and NY Times columnist is dead at 93
(23 Jan 2019) RUSSELL BAKER, AUTHOR AND NY TIMES COLUMNIST IS DEAD AT 93
Russell Baker, the genial, but sharp-witted writer who won Pulitzer Prizes for his humorous columns in The New York Times and a moving autobiography of his impoverished Baltimore childhood and later hosted television's Masterpiece Theatre, has died. He was 93.
Allen Baker told The Associated Press that his father died on Monday (21 JANUARY 2019) from complications after a fall.
Baker in his later years, lived in Leesburg, Virginia, not far from the rural community of his native Morrisonville.
Amiable and approachable, but also clear-eyed and street smart, Baker enjoyed a decades-long career as reporter, columnist, critic and on-air personality. He won Pulitzers in 1979 for the Observer, the Times column he wrote for 35 years, and in 1983 for his autobiography Growing Up.
The Great Depression and World War II shaped Baker's early life. He began his career as a reporter in 1947 and rose to become a national New York Times reporter in Washington, D.C., in 1954.
He covered Congress, the military and State Department during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations before tiring, he would recall, of waiting for politicians to come out of meeting rooms and lie to him. He drew upon those experiences for his column, writing as a curious and wide-eyed outsider who could leave an adversary buried under the weight of common sense.
On television we see President Reagan in a cave. It is the Mammoth Cave, one of America's great caves. The TV news reader says the President has come there to create 'a photo opportunity.' Here is President Reagan on television again. He is looking at a bald eagle. The President and the eagle are in the same room enjoying 'a photo opportunity,' according to the TV news voice, Baker wrote in 1984.
His environmental policy has been characterized by a reluctance to do anything that would create difficulty for the business community. It is entirely possible to defend this position with persuasive argument. T he President of the cave and the eagle, however, is not defending a sensibly thought-out policy; he is being used to deceive us into thinking that he is what he, in fact, is not.
Baker didn't ask to be called a humorist. During a 1994 speech in Hartford, Connecticut, he said his goal for the Observer was to render the federal government, politics and diplomacy accessible through plain, easy-to-read language. It was to be more widely appealing than the High-Church, polysyllabic writing common in The New York Times.
Well, as I soon discovered, in those days if you wrote short sentences and plain English in the Times, everybody naturally assumed you were being funny, he said in the speech.
Baker's targets included his own profession. Those who expected me to have something to say had obviously never heard the classic definition of a newspaper man: 'A man with nothing on his mind and the power to express it,' he said during the Hartford speech.
He wrote a second autobiography, The Good Times, to follow Growing Up. The first focused on his childhood, the second on his early journalistic career. Baker would eventually write, edit or contribute to more than 15 other books, collections and assorted works - including a musical play and children's book.
Benjamin Baker died of untreated diabetes when his son was 5. Lucy Baker struggled through the Great Depression as a single mother living in Baltimore.

Evita is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It concentrates on the life of Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president Juan Perón. The story follows Evita's early life, rise to power, charity work, and eventual death.
The musical began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. Its success led to productions in London's West End in 1978, winning the Laurence Olivier Awardfor Best Musical, and on Broadway a year later, where it was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical.
This has been followed by a string of professional tours and worldwide productions and numerous cast albums, as well as a major 1996 film of the musical starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical was revived in London in 2006, and on Broadway in 2012, and toured the UK again in 2013-14 before running for 55 West End performances at the Dominion Theatre in September–October, 2014.

My Life With AIDS: Patrick in New York City
Patrick discovered he had AIDS 20 years ago, while performing in a Broadway show. Receiving such diagnosis at that time meant your life could be over very soon. Scared and lost, Patrick turned to The Actors Fund for help. He has been receiving comprehensive financial and mental support ever since, which enables him to live and prosper despite his diagnosis.
Patrick says, Being a part of the Broadway community, I am so grateful for where I was when I was sick. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the community that was around me and the Actors Fund. It’s a good side to be on and a good cause to celebrate and support. I love how this community looks after each other - that is a remarkable idea.”

STORYLINE:
All Broadway shows in New York were canceled on Saturday after the city's state officials declared a weather emergency.
A ban on travel in New York and the suspension of public transportation forced Broadway producers and theater owners to pull the plug only about an hour before the first shows were due to start.
Disney Theatrical Productions was the first to cancel, announcing that their Aladdin and The Lion King would be closed as snow and wind smashed through Times Square.
The last time Broadway took a big weather hit was during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
It darkened Broadway for four days and cost more than 8.5 million US dollars in lost revenue.
