******** ★★★* NBC NEWS ELECTION YEAR 64 CAMERAMEN THE SIZE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE ON THE BALL FOR NBC NEWS NBC CONVENTION CENTRAL, ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 26 — For those who might have wondered how NBC has been able to produce consistently outstanding floor and remote coverage during the Democratic convention, there's a new "fearless foursome" prowling the farthest corners of Atlantic City these days — but this time they're each carrying 54 pounds of the most complex and refined electronic equipment instead of a pigskin. They are cameramen from NBC's highly effective remote units that have racked up as impressive a series of "firsts" as their New York Giant namesakes of former years. Like their namesakes, they wear brightly colored helmets for easy identification and sneakers for better traction — and occasionally get mauled by overzealous spectators in the process. John Freshi (6 '4" and 270 pounds), John Casagrande (6 '2" and 230 pounds), Tom Zisa (6'2" and 280 pounds), and Don Mulvaney (6'4" and 210 pounds) are four of the gargantuans manning NBC's "walking TV stations," who go out seven or eight times a day for periods of from one to three hours each time — carrying a complete remote TV station on their backs including a monitor and power transmitter, under the arena lights of Convention Hall (itself the site of football games).
