Kahlenberg's sole interest is to secure a permanent copy and rest assured that the film exists and is not steadily disintegrating. He asks the collector to lend his print to the Library of Congress, which is ready and willing to make a copy of it. Funds for the copying are supplied to the Library by the AFI; once the film has been transferred to acetate, the print is returned quietly to the collector.

The oil consortia, led by Shell and Esso, demanded at least 3.25 cents per therm (the amount of heat generated by 100 cu. ft. of North Sea gas).

The jury, no doubt impressed by the fact that he is the sole support of eight children, three foster children, two grandchildren and a wife, gave him the full $50,000 request, plus $660,000 as the insurance company's punishment. Itself outraged, Western Life quickly announced plans to appeal. But there is at least one way in which the company seems...
