...also one of the few times when the networks are in direct, visible competition on the same story, and all of them committed bigger sums than ever to the one-night stand. NBC spent an estimated $1,000,000 to $2,500,000, CBS roughly the same, and ABC, under the goading of its new vice president, Jim Hagerty, had boosted its outlay...
...noisiness of the Negro ghetto, where sex, booze, and gluttony are the sole means of forgetting the lifelong barrier that seals them off from real humanity; of the tiny injustices imposed by the white world (Griffin is forever having to walk long blocks just to urinate); and of the bigger injustices that are perpetually evident in the white man's "hate stares," his constant use of the word "boy" while talking at all Negroes, his utter unwillingness to show them the tiniest human courtesy...
...Crocketts are far from unique in their feeling about Government meddling in their business. Yet despite all the federal controls, the American farmer through his ingenuity and industry keeps raising bigger and better crops. He thereby contributes to the U.S.'s crisis of abundance.

Neither he nor Douglas will say how much he holds, but Wall Street estimates run to 200,000 shares, or 5% of the total, worth $4,250,000 at the current market. Since Chairman Donald Douglas Sr. owns only 10,150 shares, President Donald Douglas Jr. only 1,082 shares, and nobody is known to own more than 10% of the stock, McDonnell could easily exercise...
