Whatever he's forgotten about his native heath in all the years away, all the wins and losses, Jimmy Carter-a watchful and canny man-won't have misplaced the point of that. Most things come and go, however good to watch; a few things stay and matter to the end. Rain, for instance, a few hundred people having harmless fun on a fall afternoon to honor their harvest and to brace against winter.

They have forgotten that the members of the Committee of Fifteen--along with the CRR, which replaced it--conducted its hearings in seclusion behind locked and guarded doors on the penthouse-level Meeting Room K of Holyoke Center, high above the student rallies.

For the steelworkers and coal miners who put in eight to twelve hour days of hard, physical labor they, more than anyone, can appreciate and identify with the physical life of a football player. Football offers a diversion to a grueling, unglamorous existence--the sequences in "Deerhunter" where steelworkers congregate after their shifts in local bars to drink Iron City beers and watch the Steeler game are no figments of the scriptwriter...
