Kodak at first regarded Land's invention as a toy whose high price ($88 initially) and complexity would deter the average snapshooter. But the camera sold well. In the 1960s, when Polaroid's prices dropped dramatically (as little as $20 for a Swinger), Kodak began cracking on its own process. Says David Eisendrath, a photo consultant for TIME and Modern Photography: "Kodak finally realized what Polaroid knew from the start-that there are people who want to take good pictures, and other people who want to see them as fast as possible.

...days, Jack Ford is a natural subject for speculation. He graduated from Utah State University in May and went back to Washington, ostensibly to find his way around before starting work as a Ford campaign aide. It was not long before Jack gained a reputation as a swinger. He jokingly asked Henry Kissinger, "Now that you're married, can I have your little black book?"

Indeed De Palma is particularly tough on the youths who invite people like Swan to swindle them. They are observed to grow as hysterical over a talentless transvestite swinger named Beef (played in the film's gaudiest comic turn by Gerrit Graham) as they do over the pure loveliness of Phoenix's voice. A wedding onstage turns them on, but so does an assassination. "That's entertainment!" Swan cries, and no one challenges his all-purpose definition of the term. The terrible possibility exists that he is right-that nowadays all turn-ons are equally transitory...
