Swept off his feet again

The American tourist was standing on the shoreline at Doolin Point with his wife, who managed to escape injury, when the incident happened.

The Irish Coast Guard marine rescue sub centre was alerted at around 4.00 o’clock yesterday after the man was swept onto the rocks by a rogue wave and the Doolin unit was dispatched.

It was feared that man had been washed into the sea, but when volunteers from the nearby Coast Guard station arrived at the scene, they located the injured man on the rocks.

3. Four young Englishmen conquered Japan 50 years ago — with music. They were, of course, the Beatles — the biggest pop act in the world at the time.

“I have the honour to report that the Beatles, M.B.E., were in Tokyo from the 29th of June to the 3rd of July,” wrote Dudley Cheke, charge d’affaires at the British Embassy, to his superiors in London.

Noting that Tokyo had been hit by an exceptionally heavy tropical rainstorm just before the band arrived, Cheke said “the ‘Beatles typhoon’ ... swept the youth of Japan off their feet.”

One of those swept off her feet was Mieko Iwabuchi, who saw all five of the Beatles’ shows. The group’s visit to Japan coincided with her university exams.

“My grandfather was a doctor,” says Iwabuchi, whose photo appeared in a Japanese fashion magazine's feature on Beatles fans. “My mother lied to him (to get a note saying Mieko was sick). I was very grateful to my mother.”
