...selection of Taylor for the $200,000-plus post again raised questions about CBS management's foresight in grooming its own top executives for broad responsibilities. Most of them are heavily broadcast-oriented, even though in recent years the company has grown highly diversified and now gets more than half of its sales from such nonbroadcast divisions as book publishing, baseball (the New York Yankees), musical instrument manufacturing and motion pictures.

The camera panned across a clear blue sky, then suddenly shifted to a breadline, then to empty shelves in a supermarket, a blacked-out city, and finally to a swarm of buzzing mosquitoes. Throughout these scenes of desolation, a voice intoned: "Everybody is in favor of clean air-but losing your job won't solve the pollution problem.
