...commission of Greek jurists (TIME, Jan. 26). In its present form, the draft retains the monarchy, but severely limits the once broad powers of the throne. The King loses his most important function-that of appointing the Premier. In the future, the Premier will be chosen either in direct elections by the people or elected by Parliament. The King is also stripped of his post as commander of the armed forces and may no longer rule by decree in times of national emergency...
Prestige Sound. The script is then delivered to a production group usually an independent agency. In the casting process, actors are chosen for the "authentic look," Jack Gilford, for instance, seems typecast as the conniving Cracker Jack addict, and Lou Jacobi looks every bit the beleaguered traveling salesman in a Hertz ad. Narrators Ed Herlihy for Kraft Foods and Alexander Scourby for Eastern Air Lines are prized for their ability to project "appetite appeal" and a "prestige sound." Just as important is the preparation of catchy music, which may even become a bestseller on the pop charts...

Justifiably or not, it does something to an adolescent's psyche to know he is one of this group, even though he knows the group was chosen through an elaborate, only partly meritocratic, admissions process...
...laid raw by Corson. Because he is an insider, his strictures will galvanize critics of the war. To Corson, the pacification strategy of the Marines was correct, and victory in Viet Nam is being thwarted by the Army's blind reliance on hardware and explosives. Corson's chosen weapons are the type of security his tiny teams afforded, coupled with social justice and an attempt to free the peasant from both Saigon's tyranny and Viet Cong terror. "I don't want to see wars of national liberation become viable, exportable commodities," says Corson, who views...
