As for the U.S., it never signed the main agreement, largely because it was convinced that the Viet Nam-wide elections scheduled for 1956 would not be effectively supervised and would guarantee a Communist takeover of the South...

From that time, it will take another 40 billion years for the galaxies to fall back again in a cataclysmic...
...theatres will be introduced. The film patron will have the advantage of knowing that every film being shown has been pretested as to its effect, impact, and pleasurability. There won't be any 'bad' movies. Motion pictures will be fitted to the patron's personality."
