More than 50,000 South Koreans watched the launch on a giant screen in Seoul. David Threlfall, 26, waited in London to collect his bounty from the bookmaking firm of William Hill Ltd.; he bet $24 in 1964 that men would land on the moon by 1971, and got 1,000-to-l odds. In Beirut on the morning of launch, a woman gave birth to her eleventh child-and promptly named him Apollo Eleven Salim.

...narrative form. The confused character-actor names go a good way towards breaking down the wilful suspension of disbelief which every audience is supposed to have. The game itself serves to destroy the scared concept of the inviolate frame. At one point, Piccoli looks at the television screen, sees his companion running towards a window, rushes off-screen to save him and immediately appears himself in the center of the frame due to the position of the television...
