...equivalent of a football tactic known as "flooding the secondary," he will scatter 15 cameras, 40 microphones and 84 TV monitors around the stadium-the most equipment ever amassed for a football game. In the CBS control room, Verna will continually monitor shots taken by each of his cameramen. All through the game he will have to make snap decisions about which view he wants on the air. The job, says Verna, will be like "playing blindfold chess. I've already played the Super Bowl game in my head five or six times." In each make-believe version...
During a game, every time the quarterback calls signals, the TV cameramen have to second-guess him. Lest they be faked out, they learn like any linebacker that when the offensive linemen charge, it is usually a run; when they pull back, it is a pass. Verna's goal is to place the viewer on the 50-yd. line and then, through the cameras, let his eyes roam as they might if he were actually in the stadium.

Trevino gingerly sank a 12-ft. shot from under the lizard's chin, then, since the iguana offered no objections, repeated the performance for local cameramen. The beast departed hurriedly only after Trevino picked it up and dunked it in the pool. When the subject of being Mexican was brought up, Trevino, a Dallas-born Chicano, allowed that he is "making too much money to be Mexican." The poor, durable iguana, he said, is "real Mexican...
