...Ephron's screenplay hints at some distaste for her second lead. She shows Julie's undertaking as a scheme to keep up with a friend who has a successful blog rather than as a pure homage to Child.

Crew, Gap, and Lacoste, and they don't look like people in Harvard Yard photos," she said. "The clothes seem older, and more connected to the 1950s. Harvard could have done a better job of making the clothing seem less old-school. If Lacoste can do it, I don't see why Harvard can't. Maybe they could add in more color...
...minister and chief of counterintelligence. The move, according to Hassan Younesi, the son of a former Intelligence Minister, was engineered by Hussein Taeb and Ahmad Salek, two top Guards commanders.
