...Prayers Sought How will the case affect Kennedy's political career? One factor will be to what extent the U.S. public accepts his TV account of the debacle. It was a slick, carefully written statement that was well-delivered, with uncanny echoes of the haunting John Kennedy voice. Apart from its failure to answer key questions, it was disturbing in other respects.

Adoption of the plan by the full N.A.B. is only a formality. The N.A.B. program would affect the three TV networks and about 400 independent TV stations, as well as 6,272 radio stations that subscribe to the N.A.B. code.
