Lisa has achieved this distinction by scrambling harder than six monkeys peeling the same banana. One night last week, she taped interviews with 1) Adlai Stevenson, 2) the suddenly unemployed employees at the New York Mirror, and 3) Dr. Benjamin Spock-all within three hours, dragging mobile cameramen behind her by their sagging tongues. Next day she trapped the Russian Cosmonauts under the stars at Hayden Planetarium...
Cooper was in other ways disconcerting. He has a passion for fast cars, drives his 1963 Sting Ray Chevrolet at speeds upward of 100 m.p.h. His humor is unpredictable. Before the first Mercury flight, by Shepard, Cooper was asked to demonstrate to television cameramen how the astronaut would ride to the launch pad in a van and enter a gantry elevator for the space shot. Cooper donned a silver space suit, walked to the elevator entrance-and stopped in mock horror. As cameras whirred, he grabbed a girder and screamed: "No! I don't wanna...
...every Monday and Friday, an aging Cubana Airlines turboprop Britannia whistles to a halt at Mexico City's International Airport. Squads of police stand by. All passengers arriving without diplomatic or Mexican passports are photographed and questioned by immigration men. Sometimes the travelers grapple with the cameramen; they always dodge questions.

Dusty Films. Wolper's recent Dday, for example, was a one-hour compilation of film material made by cameramen on both sides. It contained shots of awful immediacy. A soldier comes out of the breakers onto Omaha Beach. He is hit by a bullet, sits down slowly with his legs apart, like a child about to build a castle of sand, then falls backwards to die. An other shot showed Ike sitting on the running board of an old car in North Africa, chomping on a sandwich, while Franklin Roosevelt sat on the seat above him, also eating...
...Doorway. Escorted by state troopers, the three visitors got off at the tenth floor, stepped into a smoky corridor jammed with newsmen, TV cameramen, and cops. "Get back!" the troopers shouted. "Get back! Everyone out of the way!" They pushed through the crowd, clearing a path to the door of Room 1007, the office of the state college board. Just as the newcomers reached the door, it swung open with theatrical timing. In the doorway stood Mississippi's greying, frosty-eyed Governor Ross R. Barnett...
