Balanced Footage. Back in Manhattan, secretaries and vice presidents and every newsman in town, including CBSs John Laurence, on home leave from Viet Nam, poured into the network headquarters. As ABC-TV News Veep Bill Sheehan put it,"a lot of union rules went out the window" as staffers fell to without regard for jurisdistional niceties. ABC's three-man orbituary unit hastily updated its canned footage on King, and CBS's Charles Kuralt narrated a 20-minute pretaped orbituary covering King from childhood...

But he is no slouch at spending. He has already granted Bill Cosby's corporation -which started with a capital investment of $150-a five-picture, $12 million contract.
