BALTIMORE SUN REPORTER (for now we'll keep this identity)
MICHEL FOUCAULT, noted French literary theorist (in voiceover),
AIR HOSTESSES
BALTIMORE CAB DRIVER

TWO BALTIMORE POLICE DETECTIVES
young woman who scowls at DERRIDA

TOGOLESE FAMILY at the Eiffel Tower
PREGNANT WOMAN
her HUSBAND
ORDERLIES at Hospital
DOCTOR in waiting room at Hospital
Young CATHOLIC PRIEST (we're definitely keep this)
WORKERS hosing down a ship deck in Baltimore Harbor.
People in the stairway of the airport terminal concourse.
STUDENTS asking questions to LEVI-STRAUSS (we'll keep this scene for now, even though we may unpack it and move it from the conference to airport gate. Also L-S may bring an assistant. Also we may see MACSKEY's wife if he was married, since we are at his home.
On the morning of the conference, maybe we see an establishing shot of JOHNS HOPKINS CAMOUS, with MACKSEY giving a private tour to LEVI-STRAUSS and others (but not DERRIDA) or his colleagues. We will see DERRIDA doing something else in the hotel, but we will not stipulate that for now. I suspect it may involve EDGAR ALLEN POE somehow.
