I greeted former Senator John Kerry in the elevator saying it was nice to see him again and that we had met twice- we hadn't, I had mistaken him for Thomas O'Neil III, whom we met when Donna's father and my father were still alive. I told Donna he was the senator and mentioned he went to Yale, to which he said "I did", but I kept thinking of the former Lieutenant Govenor for some reason. Senator Kerry said he knew I was talking about whom he knows as "Tommy". He gave me a salute of a raised arm to say nice to meet you. Donna's father was a high school principal and worked with Hubert Humphrey.

Edward Wagenkneckt, in his volume The Films of D.W. Griffith, points out that "Sally of the Sawdust" (1925) ,photographed by Harry Fischback and Hal Sintzernich and starring W.C. FIelds and actress Carol Dempster , was made by D.W. Griffith at Paramount but , at Griffith's behest, released through United Artists. Wagerneckt notes that the film features several sight gags involving W.C. Fields that are worth watching.
