Thus negotiations broke off without any agreement having been reached, and we were understandably surprised when Graham T. Allison '62, dean of the Kennedy School, announced that an agreement had in fact been concluded. We had no idea what they thought this agreement was and even less idea of what they would later claim the terms to have been. The University had already been ripping down our posters, they had betrayed their promise to let us into the ceremony, and now they had announced a non-existent agreement.

...genuine articles. Tower depicts Bob Krueger as a lackey to big labor. A spot commercial shows John Tower heroically resisting a bull-dozer driven by AFL-CIO President George Meany, carrying a slip of paper in his pocket which reads, "Krueger's vote."

And the shots of Allen at home talking casually to the unseen documentarian and playing his clarinet put to rout forever the myth that Allen is still the totally nervous, completely incompetent schlep; inept in daily life and in his relationships. Fact is, Allen is as well-adjusted, self-actualized as he will ever be, and, after years of struggle--through analysis and through self-expression in his films and stand-up comedy--he seems relatively at ease and happy. The documentary's only redeeming value is that it presents this other side...
