9 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This is a film set in the 1970s. |
10 | ** There's the mention of Albert Shanker, then head of a labor union of teachers. Even then, you'd have to be informed on labor issues to know about Shanker's existence. |
11 | ** Howard Cosell, a lauded sports broadcaster, is also present. Cosell would retire from broadcasting in the 1980s. |
