...presidency was positively glacial. Until a TV appearance at week's end in which he suggested that a no-confidence vote would be a vote against democracy, President Nguyen Van Thieu had not made a single campaign speech. His total campaign effort, it appears, will consist of three TV and three radio broadcasts. Previously planned visits to the countryside were scrubbed for security reasons, but were unnecessary anyway in the absence of any opposition. Saigon, meanwhile, hummed with exotic speculation about the shape of things to come. One opposition daily even wryly suggested that Mme. Thieu had threatened suicide...

...instrument for change will be the National, Advertising Review Board, which is being formed by the major advertising trade associations in cooperation with the Council of Better Business Bureaus. The review board, expected to be operating by fall, will consist of 50 members representing advertising agencies, industry and the public. B.B.B. offices around the country will accept complaints about national print or broadcast ads, and a Manhattan-based staff of ad specialists will monitor promotions. If an advertiser ignores the complaints, the matter will go to the review board, which will then 1) determine whether the complaint is justified...
...example, a Vietnamese minister asked a U.S. aid official to sign an export permit for 22,000 tons of copper (price: $1,000 a ton), claiming the copper came from generator wiring picked up in Cambodia. The official signed the paper, thereby testifying that the copper did not consist of brass casings. The Criminal Investigations Division decided otherwise; it confiscated the shipment and arranged for the aid man to be transferred...
