Reel 1:
Segment 1 (silent): Men on picket line at FMC Corporation. Includes shot of Volkswagen Bug driving into parking lot. Script reads, "An end to the 3-week old FMC strike may be in the offing. Both management and the machinist's union have agreed to a tentative meeting next Monday. Pickets continue to man the gates at FMC's Julian and Coleman Street plants. Their walkout is in its 23rd day. At issue is wages and fringe benefits. Pickets on the line seem willing to continue the strike. But several quipped that they had their yard work completed, so that they were free to return to their jobs. One previous meeting between the machinists and FMC proved fruitless. There are hopes that Monday's meeting may end the strike, but as an FMC spokesman said, 'It's hard to predict.'"

Script reads, "The professional baseball season got under way tonight in San Jose, as the San Jose Bees opened their 1966 California League season before 2500 fans at Municipal Stadium...The season opened with the usual pre-game festivities...Master of Ceremonies Carl Ogdan introduced Bees Manager Rocky Bridges, who in turn introduced his ball club...but the big moment came when San Jose Mayor Joseph Pace climbed to the mount to throw out the first ball...the mayor had been warming up on the side line before the game, but he had a little trouble holding on to the ball when his turn came to throw...but the mayor did make the pitch, and former Red Sox star Jackie Jensen layed down a perfect bunt, and the season was under way...the Bees responded in championship style as they downed the Bakersfield Bears 4 to 1...the Bees scored twice in the 3rd, and twice in the 8th to wrap up the ball game..."

Reel 3:
Segment 1 (sound): Musical theater performance. Script reads, "Across town from the FMC pickets another labor dispute is brewing -- but this one has a guaranteed happy ending. And if the AFL-CIO will pardon us, the strikers at this pajama factory have a lot more pizzazz. It's all part of the 'Pajama Game,' now in dress rehearsal, opening this Friday for a two weekend run at Andrew Hill High School in San Jose. Now we're not suggesting anything to the State mediation people, but think for a minute what would happen if the FMC people used the same tactics as employed by the ladies at the pajama factory. Case in point -- Labor -- played by Nancy Bonetti, and Management -- played by Dave Guess -- share a pajama. Now, there is a new image for labor. The show -- mediated by director Ray Gouveia, musical director Mike Kambietz, and choreographer Margarette Bergstrom -- opens this Friday at Andrew Hill High School."
