...unprecedented transatlantic transmission of the master's voice and face also gave rise to international problems undreamed of a week ago. CBS's Walter Cronkite noted that the President had violated diplomatic protocol by addressing foreign peoples directly without first notifying their governments. A British Broadcasting Corp. official complained that he was forced to disrupt the normal evening schedule on short notice. Foreign chiefs of state, suddenly alert to the prestige potential of broadcasting directly to foreign nations by satellite, began stirring.

Besieged by Noise. Some prophets however, see no near-future Utopia brought to reality by Early Bird and its progeny. "I doubt if more food will be grown in India," says RAND Corp Sociologist Joseph Goldsen, "even if every village gets a television set with lecturers teaching new agricultural techniques every hour. It takes generations to change customs and traditions. Only a few years ago, we used to pipe-dream about a TV-satellite system that was ten to 20 years away.
