Before '60 Minutes'
Mike Wallace is gone from "60 Minutes," but some of his earliest work is available online through an acquisition by the University of Texas' Harry Ransom Center. Wallace donated kinescopes of the shows to UT in the 1960s, which the Ransom Center has transferred to a digital format for online distribution.
These are not the "gotcha" grabs for which Wallace became famous on "60 Minutes." Rather, these are 63 interviews he conducted during the 1957 and 1958 seasons of his nationally syndicated documentary series "The Mike Wallace Interview."
Among the newsmakers Wallace interviewed are architect Frank Lloyd Wright, artist Salvador Dali, actor Kirk Douglas, diplomat Henry Kissinger, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and birth-control activist Margaret Sanger. Go to www.hrc.utexas.edu/wallace.

Beyonce, Jay-Z
After the media was frenzied over rumors about his much anticipated wedding with Beyonce, Jay-Z preferred to keep silent again about the matter, during his concert in North Carolina on Saturday.
But Mary J. Blige, who was also performing on the “Heart of the City” tour, couldn’t refrain from confirming something important had happened in the life of the rapper and his longtime girlfriend Beyonce, People magazine reports.
According to People, before starting to sing “You’re All I Need,” Blige shouted out loud: "Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B!”
Jay-Z did not comment on Blige’s words and referred to Beyonce only once during the concert, but not regarding the wedding episode.
A close friend of the couple told People that the two had married in a private ceremony, but neither Jay-Z nor his girlfriend confirmed the rumors.
The rumors about a possible wedding started after the couple, who have been together for six years, took out a wedding license valid for 60 days, in Scarsdale Village, New York.
Since then, the media was sent into frenzy, with lots of photographers and reporters gathering near Jay-Z’s penthouse in the Tribeca area of New York, where a white tent was erected on the roof in the day of the supposed wedding.
The couple apparently followed their intimate ceremony with a big party where many famous guests were invited. Former members of Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, were present, and friend Gwyneth Paltrow also showed up, accompanied by her husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have been a discreet couple since they got together in 2002. Perhaps they would not even have made their romance public, had it not been for their collaborations on Jay-Z’s song “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” and Beyoncé’s solo hit “Crazy in Love,” in 2003, which sparked rumors that their partnership was not solely musical.
Mary J. Bliges Concert Shout-Out to Jay-Z Beyonce
Mum was the wedding word from Jay-Z as he hit the stage in North Carolina on Saturday – a day after a friend says he married Beyoncé Knowles – revealing nothing about a ceremony and wearing no ring.
But co-headliner Mary J. Blige on the "Heart of the City" tour couldn't maintain the same level of silence, shouting to the sold-out Greensboro audience: "Congratulations to my man, Jay-Z, and my girl B," before starting her set with "You're All I Need."
Otherwise, it was musical business as usual for Jay-Z, who stuck to the concert script, performing on his own and doing duets with Blige. Beyoncé was nowhere to be seen, and his only reference to her came when he played a few notes of "Crazy in Love," then cut it off, saying, "Sorry, B." But this is something he does at every show.
A couple since 2002, Jay-Z, 38, and Beyonce, 26, have long kept quiet about their relationship, and their reps are still not comfirming a wedding. But a friend tells PEOPLE: "It happened earlier (Friday) evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family."
The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper's Tribeca apartment that drew Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.
