After the boat ride, Nixon invites the press to his guesthouse. In the chill wind, he explains that he could not brief on substance during the week because "I had to do everything I could to assure that we did not jeopardize possible agreement in some areas. Here was a long road and it had to be traveled with discretion." Already, he seems to be gearing back to his world, to California, Florida, Washington - to going home. The odyssey is nearly...
...Downhill is 73rd in line for the chair lift. He shuffles his $200 fiber glass skis and $90 foam-injected Rieker boots, pokes forward a few inches with his $35 aluminum poles, and shivers in his $95 quilted parka, while his $10 all-day lift ticket flutters in the chill breeze and his stomach rumbles from that rotten $2.50 lunchtime ratburger...

A sardonic muckraker, Brown demonstrates why commercial broadcasting, now a half-century old, remains "Babbitt at 50." The moral chill of the McCarthy era still afflicts the networks. Even in their journalism there is an ever-present binary fear of Government and advertisers. Thus TV-documentary writers begin a special on corruption in Saigon-only to have it scuttled. Then they are assigned a program on patent medicines-and ordered to abandon it. Then they start work on an examination of the military-industrial complex...
