Frenzied Flamenco. By the time she was ready for Sound of Music, Julie was showing new attack and authority in her work. She knew when a page of script somehow didn't play right. And she insisted on sound-track retakes when everybody else was satisfied, frequently drove some of the crew members up the wall with frustration over her demands for perfection.

...Some 3.2 million men would find themselves classed 1-A if this system were adopted today, which is about twice the number needed to fill the military's needs. A lottery could be used to choose men from the pool. A skeleton Selective Service, based in Washington, could keep track of draft-age men in case they were needed for a general mobilization...
