People in the news CBS News under attack for special CHARLESTON, S.C. (API CBS News is engaging in "an extreme case of irresponsible journalism” in an upcoming television program about the 1968 Tet offensive during the Vietnam War, according to retired Gen. William Westmoreland. Westmoreland, former commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam. was interviewed for the documentary, which contends the public was misinformed about the true strength of the Viet Cong during the Tet offensive. Westmoreland told The Charleston Evening Post on Thursday that anchorman Mike Wallace “has picked up bits and pieces in order to support a thesis that he and possibly his producer have concocted. It has no substance.” "The report leaves out a great deal of what I said during the interview,” Westmoreland continued. “This is a vicious thing and 1 am both upset and disillusioned.” The "CBS Reports” special, titled "The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception,” will be aired Saturday. CBS spokeswoman Geraldine Sharpe-Newton said in response to Westmoreland’s comments that the documentary "contains statements by highly placed, responsible persons.” "We believe those statements speak for themselves ” The program says Westmoreland told President Lyndon B. Johnson in April 1967 that Viet Cong army strength had leveled off to 285,000 soldiers. The report alleges Westmoreland did not tell Washington of CIA estimates showing an enemy of far larger numbers. Westmoreland is quoted as responding to CBS: “I was not about to send to Washington something that was specious, and in my opinion, it was specious.” In the program, Wallace says that in the summer of 1967, Westmoreland "pursued a new tactic. He proposed that an entire category of the Viet Cong army the self-defense militia, a force of 70,000 men simply be dropped from the order of battle.” But Westmoreland told the newspaper, "This was the Viet Cong Secret Defense Force and it was made up of old men and boys who had little if any combat capability. They were armed, if at all, with antiquated weapons. "It would have amounted to deception on my part if I had included them in the order of battle," he said. • DES MOINES, lowa (AP) Rock singer Ozzy Osbourne was treated for a possible case of rabies after telling doctors that he bit the head off a bat during a concert at Veterans Auditorium. A spokesman for Broadlawns Medical Center said Osbourne, a former member of the group Black Sabbath, was given a rabies shot and a tetanus shot. The spokesman said the medical report said, “Patient bit head off bat.” Osbourne also sought treatment at Mercy Medical Center, and was to check in with hospitals along the concert tour to continue the vaccinations. • LONDON (AP) Barry Manilow is getting bad notices in the newspapers, but rave reviews at the box office in a tour of Great Britain and Ireland. Manilow’s recent concert at Royal Albert Hall in London was described as “one of the worst I’ve ever seen” by John Blake, a critic for The Standard. The Daily Mirror said Manilow looks “gawky and awkward and ugly” and has a bad voice. But Manilow’s 15 concerts in five cities are sold out, and scalped tickets are said to be going for as much as S2BO for a $37.60 seat. PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Cartoonist Edward Koren, creator of the furry figures that dress and speak as humans, has sued a Providence restaurant, claiming it used his characters without permission. The suit filed in U.S. District Court seeks a court order barring Noah’s Arcade from using the cartoon characters on its signs, menus or advertisements and seeks the portion of restaurant profits that can be attributed to the drawings. According to exhibits attached to the suit filed Tuesday, the drawings used by the restaurant were taken from the Brookfield, Vt., artist’s copyright book, “Do You Want to Talk About It?” Koren’s characters look like humans, but are covered with fur and have long snouts. His cartoons usually appear in The New Yorker and Harper’s Magazine.

BETTE DAVIS: No worries “I brought my own children up to be independent of me, and I of them," Bette Davis was saying Thursday, “so I’ll never have to worry about being one of those people whose children shabbily warehouse them because they don’t want to bother with them anymore.” The 73-year-old actress, in New York for a few weeks from her home in California, was talking about “A Piano for Mrs. Cimino,” a CBS-TV movie to be shown Feb. 3. In the movie, she plays a widow who, having withdrawn from the world in depression, is regarded as senile and deemed by her children to be incompetent to handle her affairs. “A lot of this is happening nowadays to us older folk,” Miss Davis said. “Maybe it’s our own fault. Maybe we should have turned loose our children at 18 or so and disappeared as human beings. It would have served some of them right.” Asked why she worked so much, she replied: “Do I? I went five months without work last year, but I manage to make about one movie a year for TV, which makes good pictures these days. Oh, I knew some stars are snobbish about TV, but people like Katharine Hepburn and I will work in TV, movies, anywhere. There used to be the same snobbery, on the part of stage actors, against those of us who worked in the movies, but we wound up saving the theater.” Miss Davis said that as a New Englander she has had little trouble weathering the cold of recent weeks. “And unlike the winter of three years ago, I haven’t fallen on the ice and broken anything,” she said with a laugh. "That’s unusual because I walk so fast and don’t look where I’m going, and I’m forever breaking bones.” • ‘“Huckleberry Finn’ was the first novel I ever read through," said Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine author, who is in New Orleans for 10 days to lecture and accept honors from two universities. The 82-year-old Borges said that, because of his interest in Mark Twain’s work, “I always wanted to know the Deep South personally” and had wanted since his boyhood to visit the area. On Wednesday he spent his first evening in New Orleans on a well-worn bench in Preservation Hall, a French Quarter jazz club, and said afterward: “I was delighted. This is the fountainhead of jazz, and I love jazz.” Although he has been blind since the age of 56 from a hereditary disease, Borges told a news conference: “My dreams keep on being a vision. I keep on seeing. I live in the center of a luminous mist.” • LOS ANGELES (AP) Ronald Reagan’s home overlooking the ocean aLPacific Palisades is back on the market after a $1.9 million deal with a group of investors fell through. Parties involved in the sale have different versions of what happened, but a broker says the deal was ruined by comments attributed to industrialist Justin Dart, a friend of the president who has been helping him market the house. In an article in the Los Angeles Times on Jan. 13, Dart was quoted as saying the house was overpriced at $1.9 million and that the Reagans would take $1 million for it. The Reagans decided to sell the house when they moved to Washington.
