for a flight to Wellington, where he will deliver a lecture on world communications, Mr Cooke said he had previously received three invitations to visit New Zealand. “I have always resisted travelling long distances to deliver a lecture and going back two days - later. It would be too punishing/* he' said. • AF' ' However, he could ‘ not
turn down the invitation from the of the Wellington lecture, because he had been offered an opportunity to tour New Zealand. “The invitation sounds fine,” he said. “Everyone said New Zealand had the most varied landscape; you could have inside, an area the size of Colorado, sb. that was exciting”
