...camera coverage brought wide- shots of the action but missed the of an event that network TV Brooks' endless calculations, swimmer Fred Elizalde leading the "Y" shaven in the skull of freshman captain Mike Austin, and disappointment of John Pringle after butterfly...
Free Advice. On the witness stand in Paris' Palais de Justice, the paratroop colonels made no apologies. Shaven-skulled Colonel Auguste Broizat, a veteran of Indo-China, said firmly that he not only "refused to fire on the crowd," but had ordered that his men stay where they were and "avoid all provocations." After the police massacre, Broizat told Algerian Commander in Chief General Maurice Challe bitterly: "Here is the result of our government's policy, and this is just the beginning."

G.G. was clean-shaven, B.G. had 5 o'clock shadow, and an experienced horse fan could predict the depth of the villain's depravity by checking the length of his sideburns. The villain chased the hero from right to left, but when the hero was winning, he was naturally headed right (with his pistol hand closest to the camera). Anybody shot was assumed dead, unless the audience was notified to the contrary...
