Over in other sections I caught glimpses of friends. Of all these people, 125 were hired from the Screen Actors' Guild, 125 were specially-recruited students from Harvard-Radcliffe and Brandeis, and the rest were curiosity-seekers who would each get a dollar for dropping in and signing a release in case they actually appeared on film. As it turned out, these dollar people probably got the best deal. The professionals and students were committed for three days of misery. Those benches were hard, and it was much too cold to take off any of the clothes you were fortunate...
...addition to Oliver on the ice they shot Ali in the sidelines (shouting "Knock his block off Oliver!") and Oliver's father on the other side-although that might have been another game. There's a lot happening on location that you never see on screen. I couldn't figure things out exactly, but sometimes we were at Harvard playing Dartmouth, and sometimes at Cornell-with the help of a few banners and some desultory interior decorating. Cornell lent its uniforms on the condition that its team be shown winning, but Dartmouth seemed to consider it an honor...
...wasn't in SAG (Screen Actors' Guild) but whose brother's roommate's friend shared an apartment with Marty Richards or something like that: he was being an extra and helping with the paperwork and taking an entrepreneur's holiday all at the same time.

There are the flappers doing their frenetic Charleston, the dastardly villains and wistful heroines of the silent screen. Soon a couple of European political upstarts make their appearance: A. Hitler and B. Mussolini. Moving through the Great Depression and World War II, the film traces the ever more sophisticated use of all communications forms-radio, candid camera, wireless photos, TV -to capture the substance and essence of the times...
...Gaulle vetoed British membership. During one seven-month period, he ordered his ministers to boycott all meetings of the Six to demonstrate his displeasure over what he considered supranational power plays by the EEC Commission. De Gaulle became a symbol of obstinacy, but he also provided a convenient screen for the other members, who disagreed too about the way in which the Market was being shaped. Publicly, the five deplored France. Privately, they occasionally scuttled Market proposals that collided with their own particular national objectives...
