...Angeles. When Lazar insisted on more, Frost raised his offer. The deal was assured when NBC, the one network in the running, failed to match Frost's bid. Then Frost, Nixon and their lawyers huddled at San Clemente for 51/2 hours and emerged with a signed, 13-page contract stipulating that Nixon be available for 20 hour-long taping sessions that will be edited into four TV shows, each probably 90 minutes long, with a fifth show optional. The interviews will begin next April, but they will not be aired before 1977 so as not to influence...
Sanders. I took some of my own medicine this weekend and journeyed to see Pharoah Sanders at the Workshop. Ugh. The Pharoah realty scalped me. He played for about half of the hour-long set and when he did, he was confusing at best. Throughout the most ludicrous portions of the concerts, when Pharoah was shreiking beyond belief, positively driving everybody up the walls, the woman next to me was smiling cheerfully, apparently pleased by his sax turned pneumatic drill.

FORTUNATELY, almost miraculously, a documentary filmmaker named Glen Pearey followed the 1973 UFW grape strike in the valleys of California and has produced a moving, intelligent hour-long film called Fighting for Our Lives. Pearey, working usually with only one assistant to handle the sound, followed the UFW for five months--April to September, 1973--through the valleys, along the highways, and into the fields, showing the workers expelled from the fields, whispering about fighting back and finally organizing to get back the contracts. The organizing is crucial: not only is it the source for much of the film...
