...slow-motion freaks do not fare any better. Japan's Kon Ichikawa, who all by himself made a better Olympics film about the 1964 Tokyo Games, uses slow motion to record the 100-meter dash. Although it is fascinating to see some of the world's fastest humans running in place for a few minutes, it is finally frustrating not to see the essence of their thing, which is a blur. Arthur Penn has some extremely pretty pictures of pole vaulters slowly soaring, but when he cuts a lot of vaults together to form a sort of aerial...
After 14 years of Yoovy's "sweep-left-sweep-right-dive" philosophy, Restic, lover of the multiple set and the man in motion, was going to provide just the right transfusion to cure Harvard's anemic football tradition. Why, Restic even promised that his teams would throw the football, a radical departure from the conservative Yovicsin regime in which the only passes at Harvard games were the ones gallantly offered by the band's drumbearers to visiting cheerleaders. No doubt about it, Harvard fans enthused, Joe Restic was going to bring something innovative and wonderful to Harvard Stadium...

The gridiron Puritanism that characterized Yovicsin's football philosophy has been transformed into a wild athletic gadabout. Shifts, multiple sets, motion, passes, reverses, along with a host of other different--and sometimes unorthodox--techniques, have become part of the Harvard football vocabulary...
...most part, it was a Cambridge in slow motion, a muted, low-key Cambridge. Even the summer school students, who bounced in full of summertime excitement, money and curiosity, wilted when the thermometer hit 99. For half the summer, Crimson staffers tried to think of new and imaginative ways to make the weather slug say, "It will be raining again goddamit." The rest of the summer our problem was getting the papers delivered before they melted...
Near the end of November, the SFAC considered the first of the proposals that dealt with ROTC, the one that had been formulated by SDS--total expulsion of the program. That motion was easily defeated. The SDS position was simply that Harvard, for moral and political reasons, should refuse to allow ROTC on its campus. SDS, like the other organizations, lacked a formal vehicle to bring its proposals before the Faculty. But on November 20, the organization announced that Hilary Putnam, professor of Philosophy, would present its case for total expulsion...
