...Hepburn-Tracy relationship for his hero and heroine. Bisset is cast as the world's greatest (and probably thinnest) pastry chef, while Segal plays her ex-husband, a fast-food maven whose philan dering broke up the marriage.

Several armed bodyguards accompanied Wallace, and then-University Police Chief Robert Tonis feared violence might erupt if the Wallace entourage attempted to walk through the crowd. So Tonis had the police escort Wallace through the tunnels to an awaiting car. (When Sectretary of Defense Robert McNamara was whisked away from demonstrators, however, the food tunnels linking five River Houses to the University's central kitchen were used...
