...FROM U.N.C.L.E. (NBC, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). Shelley Berman slips in to take on Napoleon and Illya as the mad film director who decides to drop a ten-ton stink bomb on Las Vegas for a super-colossal finish to a film about...
...alloys to civilian customers in the transportation, construction, aircraft, electricity and even nuclear-energy fields. Instead of shutting down its Christy Park Works and laying off 500 workers, as it had announced last year, U.S. Steel Corp. has the plant going full blast, with 2,000 workers turning out bomb casings and air-to-air missile warheads...

In this sense, writes Wertham, "we are the victims of the hydrogen bomb before it is ever used," because its very existence forces society to contemplate genocide. Tobacco and alcohol advertising, he believes, also teach a subtle disregard for human welfare, as does the U.S. acceptance of the annual total of traffic fatalities-"vehicular violence." Even patriotism comes under Wertham's rebuke...
