...almost a year, the biggest drama at Paramount Pictures Corp. has taken place in the front office rather than the back lot. Charging that Paramount's longtime management had about as much vitality as a silent movie, Baldwin-Montrose Chemical Co. Chairman Herbert J. Siegel and Broadway Producer Ernest H. Martin (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) teamed up in a try to take over the company. They bought 143,100 shares, about 9% of Paramount stock, got two seats on the eleven-man board, promised a proxy fight for full control. Last week, however, the drama...
Debating the Debate. This pattern of dissent by a Times columnist is not necessarily unique. Arthur Krock differs from the paper's policy on some issues, notably economics; Hanson Baldwin tends to differ on military policy. However, it is Sulzberger's independent line on Viet Nam that has become more and more conspicuous in recent months...
...Reginald Dawson has decided to top off his entry into a previously white school by going out for the football team (a recent letter from him says they use him very effectively as a decoy.)

...even Baldwin's estimate of a million troops does not account for the probability of counter-escalation by the Communists. In the past six months, they have matched escalation with escalation and there is little reason to think they will stop now. For Ho Chi Minh, the battle in the South represents only the latest phase of a twenty-year struggle for national independence. Should the U.S. decide to double or triple its commitment of troops, Hanoi would very likely send considerably larger detachments of its 450,000-man army into the South rather than accept defeat...
