While critics of U.S. bombing, from U Thant to the Vatican to Bertrand Russell, hastened to accuse the U.S. of escalating the war, Washington mumbled and fumbled until it was too late to erase the initial impact of the shrill reports...

And Bertrand de Jouvenel has suggested that various types of future should be portrayed on TV, allowing the public to vote in a referendum on "the future of your choice." The chief message of the futurists is that man is not trapped in an absurd fate but that he can and must...
