...weren't for Rick Stafford's quiet grin and easy manner of breaking into conversation with everyone he takes pictures of, for and with, nobody would notice him. It's his job to be at every Harvard event but not to be part of it--he must be off to the side while people have their great moments in life, as he must record their glory for them. His is a lonely job, so he always chats with those around him. He gets to know everyone from professors to administrators to football players in his travels. They all remember...

The less thankful roles of the subsidiary couple are less thankfully played. The giggly Anderman seems to have inhaled laughing gas rather than downed tumblers of brandy, and Kelton's Nick is docile enough...
