...Tall Jones; given the frenetic wedding scene at the end that sounds plausible, and it might not have been a bad idea if he could have brought it off. Correspondingly, Reynolds looks to have borrowed at least a little from Cary Grant; when Kristofferson and Clayburgh shut the door, Reynolds acts dejected, kicks at air, throws himself down on a couch, and puts on a record.

There is even an executive secretary who vigilantly collects every scrap of paper after each meeting, carries them home and carefully burns them in his fireplace...
...disclosed his other plans for reviving the Herald-Examiner. "It's an even bigger challenge than the Star," he says. There were many at the Star who were sorry he had accepted that challenge. Among them was Joe Allbritton, who said last week: "If Bellows walked in the door right now and said he'd changed his mind, he could still be editor of the Star...
