Ronan Farrow

[Bruyere]

http://www.nytimes.c...d=tw-share&_r=0 - This NY Times piece has a few mentions of Ronan Farrow being sick (given the speculation it's almost certainly only there to tie in with the piece "Frank Sinatra has a cold").

Relevant sections quoted below but the whole piece is an interesting read:

Ronan Farrow had a cold. “Probably from a source,” he joked. It wasn’t clear who gave it to him — the big pop star in L.A. or the Minnesotans fighting against terrorist recruitment in their community. Farrow had been out of town reporting pieces on both, and his voice was almost shot.

On set in Studio 3A, you could barely hear his voice across the room, but the microphones picked it up, and on camera he was scratchy but cogent. Solutions for income inequality “are incredibly difficult to stomach,” he said, moving his hands to emphasize the point. It means “increasing the minimum wage, which in turn may mean more expensive goods for Americans; it means reducing executive compensation.” He nodded his head slightly as he listened, his eyes fixed on the host. Each time the show cut away, he soothed his throat with tea.

It was a fall day on the Upper East Side, and Ronan Farrow didn’t yet have a cold, but he was working on it. He arrived for lunch completely soaked, having been caught in a downpour without an umbrella.
