...jutting jaw (Fellini has filmed him almost entirely in profile). These details resemble those in portraits of the real man. But as usual, Fellini goes further. Sutherland's scalp has been shaved clean for three inches up from the hairline and his eyes lined into a definite slant. The result is a highly stylized, almost Kabuki look that conforms amazingly to a sketch of Casanova drawn by Fellini-who was once a cartoonist -months before he met Sutherland. "Fellini choreographs every move I make," says Sutherland, who had arrived in Rome with Casanova's twelve-volume Memoirs...
...likes to present psychic rather than objective reality. He uses any material-literary, political, personal-and bends it to his will, makes it part of his powerful fantasies. One cannot imagine his boasting that Casanova is a meticulous biographical creation. On the contrary he says: "There is no historical slant, no ideology.

On the fourth play of the game, quarterback Steve Bartkowski of Berkeley hit McInally on a short slant pass, and the lanky All-American stretched every muscle to beat the Pittsburgh defenders to the goal line. At about the four, a tackler leapt at McInally-- McInally still doesn't know who it was, although he has seen the vide tape replay--and made the stop. The impact broke McInally...
