果して、そこに「ライフ」（スタッフ）はいたのか？ 問題（その3063参照）―私見
"The Astronaut Wives Club"（Lily Koppel）はウェインライトを―
There were three Life reporters assigned full-time to the husbands and wives, including Loudon Wainwright, whose son would beget a musical dynasty. （son はミュージシャンの Loudon Wainwright Ⅲ のこと）
The Life ghostwriter, Loudon Wainwright, in vigilant keeping with the magazine's no-flaws policy, had glossed over what was embarrassingly obvious in person.
Along with her（Annie）kids and some close family friends, Loudon Wainwright from Life magazine was with her to watch the launch.

そして、TV ドラマで（ドラマチックに）ルイーズ・シェパードが無言で架空のライフ・スタッフを引き留めるシーンの（想像するに）もとネタ―
The thought of suddenly having her home and life opened up to the general press—and her stutter revealed on national television? Well, it was enough to send any wife into a dither and give her a migraine. On top of that, Johnson wanted Loudon Wainwright to leave so that the networks would have a free hand. This didn't sit well with Annie. She trusted Loudon and felt as comfortable with him as she'd ever feel with any reporter. He protected her. “You sit right there,” she told him. “You're not leaving this house!”
この実際はアニー・グレンとウェインライトのエピソードを（まさしく「ライトスタッフ」方式で）脚色してるんじゃないかと。

原作「ザ・ライト・スタッフ」―
ジョンの尻の下でロケットが破裂することを別にすれば、アメリカの宇宙計画のなかで、これは彼女に起こりうる、最悪の事態だった。最初アニーは、『ライフ』との契約のこともあるし、それに個人的な親しい関係からも、『ライフ』の人に外に出てくれとは頼めない、と言って鄭重に断わろうとした。ウェインライトもばかではないから、こんな問題に巻きこまれたいはずはなく、自分から遠慮して家から出ると申し出た。しかしアニーはこのようなとき『ライフ』という保護者を捨てるつもりはなかった。彼女の心は決まっている。だんだん怒りがつのってきて、ウェインライトに、「あなたはこの家から出ることはありません！」と言った。怒りが奇蹟を起こして、彼女はどもらなかった。[中公文庫]
Short of the rocket blowing up under John, this is the worst thing she can imagine occurring in the entire American space program. At first Annie is trying to deal with it gracefully by saying that she can't possibly ask Life to leave, not only because of the contract, but because of their good personal relationship. Wainwright, being no fool, doesn't particularly care to get caught in the middle like this and so he offers to bow out, to leave. But Annie is not about to give up her Life shield at this point. Her mind is made up. She's getting angry. She tells Wainwright: "You're not leaving this house!" Her anger does wonders for her stutter.（The Right Stuff）
