Darting about on her chrome-festooned motorcycle in her self-designed uniform-white crash helmet and boots, tight black pants and leather jacket-she might be taken for a Hell's Angel auxiliary.

About ten yards in front of her was Tim, looking through his camera, which was on a tripod balanced on the show. Between Tim and Nora was Eric, who had leather encased tape recorder strapped over his shoulder, a headset over his ears, and a long mike in his hand. Behind Tim and leaning on the ski-doo were Phoebe and myself. We were shooting the first take...
