	Hal Ashby
		Ashby's skills as an editor, now freed by his creative control over the picture, are on display from the opening moments, as he crosscuts between high contrast footage of a racquetball game and the softer, more natural tones of the African-American neighbourhood, a visual motif that continues throughout the film.
		Ashby accomplishes this to best effect in the final sequence, in which he dismantles and intercuts three events: Harold and Maude's arrival at the hospital, Harold's agonising wait for news of her death, and his high-speed drive up the California coastline.
		Ashby builds additional layers of commentary and humour onto the scene by having Chance flip to an aerobics program, whose instructor encourages viewers to “explore slowly.” By the end of the scene, Eve is panting on the floor, unaware that Chance is standing on his head, just like the woman on television.

	Was This Her House?
		There is almost no doubt that as of 1785, Betsy Ross and her third husband, John Claypoole, lived on the north side of Arch Street, between Second and Third Streets, which is the present location of the Betsy Ross House.
		In attempting to establish whether Betsy Ross lived at the site which is now the Betsy Ross House, (presently numbered 239-245 Arch Street), one may begin with the earliest Philadelphia city directories, published in 1785.
		As the 1785 directories placed the location of Betsy Ross and John Claypoole on the north side of Arch Street between Second and Third Streets, they support the fact that Betsy Ross once occupied the present Betsy Ross House which is also on the north side of Arch between Second and Third.

		Ashby here presented a possibility proof of a machine that would solve problems its creators were incapable of solving.
		This machine would amplify human intelligence the way human physical power is amplified by the steam engine, and unlike the way it was earlier amplified by the lever or cog and pulley.(14) This analogy, along with its companion contrast, blurs the distinction between intelligence amplification and artificial intelligence.
		In Popper's and Einstein's view, then, as in the view propounded by Engelbart and Ashby, the specialized tools devised for symbol manipulation are valuable to the extent that they extend, augment, or amplify human intelligence, rather than replicating it.
