Woodside facing an even larger crowd than usual, drew smile with his mixing of Eastern and Western images--"A grand Confucian funeral makes a Hollywood funeral seem emotionally modest," he explained a one point. As 1:00 drew near, he skipped some points, and began speaking faster. When the bells of Memorial Church started ringing, he still has more...
