...have successfully accomplished the general offensive and general uprising will the negotiations demonstrate their significance, which consists of creating conditions for the enemy to accept final defeat and withdraw in an 'honorable' manner." In the U.S., government policy planners have done hardly any staff work on the actual nuts-and-bolts details of a settlement cease-fire arrangements, means of inspection for troop withdrawals, stages of reducing the fighting. One reason for the lack stems from the realization that such wargaming would probably become known and would add to the uneasiness that already besets South Vietnamese rulers...

A company treasurer (Robert Morse) is in the process of absconding to Brazil with the company funds when the power failure overtakes him at the scene of the crime. He quickly gloms an abandoned auto from a traffic jam and heads for Boston, where an airport is still functioning. But he gets only as far as the exurbs...

He is now married to Margaret Wentworth, a skilled craftswoman (mosaics and stitchery...
...only are the large sheets difficult to file, but every time a broker places a buy or sell order, the actual certificates must be sorted out manually and delivered to the buyer by messenger. Because stocks have no uniformly accepted identification numbers, a single issue may be assigned one number by the issuing corporation, a second by the broker who is selling, and a third by the broker who is buying. Such hoary habits, coupled with an unprecedented volume in trading, have created so much paper work that the nation's stock exchanges have been forced to close down...
