Last year, PBS had originally planned to televise. The Game. But since neither Harvard nor Yale was in contention for the Ivy crown, PBS decided to switch its telecast to the Cornell-Pennsylvania showdown, which Penn won to earn the league title...
...halftime interview during the telecast of the Harvard-Cornell game, a Mr. Reardon of the Athletics Department asserted that the Ivy League is distinguished by the fact that it treats its athletes no differently than it treats its other students. The reinstatement of Greg Williams to the football team would seem to suggest otherwise.

The project was put on hold temporarily (only to make budget revisions, Stoddard now says), but shooting went ahead last March. Soviet officials have since expressed interest in buying the show for telecast in their country. "It would be useful if Soviet TV viewers were shown how public opinion in the U.S.A. is formed," says Leonid Kravchenko, deputy chairman of Gosteleradio, the Soviet agency in charge of radio...
