...one really knew what was coming off except for the signer-in, who was establishing order person by person. Since each person wanted the whole business explained, it was nine-thirty before he got to my area. Meanwhile the working-class sector of the production crew had brought out four large coffee machines, styrofoam cups, plastic spoons, and so forth, along with a huge box of packaged coffee-cakes. Each package had one yellow roll with sugar frosting smeared against the Saran wrap that held it and a pat of margarine on a blue paper napkin. I ate the frosting...

...cameramen had begun setting up the lights and we were herded into a coherent crowd to be background for some shots of a Harvard-Cornell game. The time spent on the actual filming was not much, but setting up shots and organizing extras and other such chores stretched one or two short hockey sequences into a three-day stint.

...they were all the way they are meant to be: very-nice, and so-human, and not-a-bit-standoffish. But it was the other small people who were surprising: they too were the way they're all cracked up to be by worried mothers and column-writers. One was a girl who made her living as an extra. She had what amounted to a routine acting job-"except it's very hard to get work." This stint in Watson Rink was even duller than most, she told me, but still it's not a good way to earn...
