...where he made preparations for another summit meeting this week-with Brazil's President Humberto Castello Branco. Belaúnde got into a helicopter and whirred off to the isolated, primitive Peruvian village of Aguarunas, where his interpreter explained to the curious Indians that this tall, grey-haired white man was the President of something called Peru. While the Indians laughed and shrugged in confusion, Belaúnde threw an arm around one for a quick photograph, then popped back into his helicopter for another stop or two before returning home...
Walter Camp, wobbly ball and all, is college football's original immortal. And nobody at Notre Dame is ever likely to forget Gus Dorais and Knute Rockne, who on a grey afternoon in 1913 demonstrated for the first time how deadly the forward pass could be-by demoralizing an unbeaten Army team that outweighed the Fighting Irish by 15 Ibs. per man.

Murphy seldom misses a U.C.L.A. football game, often leaves his seat on the 50-yard line to pace nervously behind the bench when his team is in trouble...
...that I always go for color, because if you want the effect of black and white you can always create it, because the camera will photograph what you give it. It's a matter of taste. The exteriors in Torn Curtain are all diffused also. We used a grey diffusor. In fact, we did that for the whole picture in order to reduce the color even more, so that we would prevent even Technicolor from cheating us. We made the reflected light with a big sheet: a large 20 by 20 sheet...
