Deconstruction: The City at Ground Level

Let us also see:

From the back of a station wagon a NEWSPAPER DELIVERY MAN drops a bundle of newspapers on the sidewalk in front of a newspaper vending machine in front of a bodega. He then bends over to cut the string of the bundle with a knife.

The CAMPUS OF JOHNS HOPKINS serene in the arriving light of day---its modern buildings glimmering with the fresh day, and its lawns tidily kept.

In the distance, we see a figure, busily scurrying across an otherwise empty sidewalk. Later we will see it is MACKSEY. Outside the lecture hall we visit later, a student is putting up posters for the day's event.
