...Blue goal was the result of a needless hands violation by the Crimson. The free kick landed in a maze of Harvard and Pennsylvania players about 20 yards directly in front of the Crimson goal. Out of the melee came a shot by Norm Bierman fired past goalie Bob Forbush, who was caught on the wrong side of the cage...
Life in this country is only described in passing ("the tricky proliferation of America: an unfolding maze of Saturday movies, roller skating rinks, picnic grounds, church ladies, colored people...") but the beginning of the story has already indicated what effect it has had upon her parents: "They use paper napkins instead of the linen, rolled up in napkin rings; they like Pepperidge Farm bread and even Jello."

Threading his way through a maze of PERT charts, Raborn could spot trouble in advance-at Sunnyvale, Calif., where Lockheed Aircraft Corp., prime contractors for the missile kept 9,000 men on the job, at the new plant near Sacramento where Aerojet-General Corp. was working on solid-fuel rocket engines, at the Groton, Conn, sub pens of the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corp.

Bergman likes to wander away from his audience into a child's garden of vices where he plays "biting little games" of innuendo and digs "poisonously squirming worms of association." Often he wanders even farther, down into weird sea valleys of sick imagination where all human values are dissolved into primordial symbols and only a psychiatrist can adequately follow. Yet Bergman's films can be seen as a fascinating psychological record of his struggle to rise out of these cold depths...
