...Lillian Hellman. That spirit made it as far as the book, but the film's a whole different deal. For one thing, it's hard to imagine Hellman being cute by wrinkling the nose she once threw herself from a tree to break for an excuse to have it reset: afterward, she said, "it looked different but not different enough."

They point out that code machines, Western and Russian models alike, are constructed in a manner that enables the operator to reset circuits and insert new encoding or decoding disks at random so that yesterday's code may give scant clue to today's. Even so, influential U.S. cryptologists at the time believed that an examination of the Russian equipment would increase the possibility that the U.S. might finally succeed in breaking Soviet codes, a feat that...
...random interjection of obscenities often followed by the violent felling of the microphone stand, which actually constituted one of the lighter sides of the concert. Whenever the mike stand came crashing to the ground, an obedient roadie would diligently high-tail it across the stage in order to reset it, in perfect likeness to a ballboy during a championship tennis match...
