...cover assemblage completed, Scarfe was delighted to turn back to more familiar artistic tools and go to work on the cartoons that illustrate the story. Unlike Scarfe, Associate Editor Ray Kennedy, who wrote the cover story, figured he was all too familiar with TV commercials. One set glows constantly in his office; three others sound off steadily in his Manhattan apartment, to the delight of his six children. What Kennedy and Senior Editor Jesse Birnbaum wanted was an expert appraisal of what spots should be concentrated on. That appraisal was supplied by Reporter Peter Borrelli and Researcher Sandra Burton after...
...Chart Researchers Claire Barnett and Nina Wilson put in an equally painstaking few weeks collecting the necessary statistics for the commercial time chart that runs along with the cover story. TV networks would not release programming logs, so the girls had to spell each other as they monitored a complete three-network "commercial day." Everywhere they went-to the office, to parties, and through all their household chores-they carried their stopwatches with them. One or the other of them was never far from the sight and sound of a TV set. "The hardest part was learning to 'tune...
...Illusions. The break in the ice left some U.S. officials notably cool.

The planes, which are used on other nights to fly in arms and ammunition, land on a lantern-lit stretch of highway somewhere between Owerri and Port Harcourt, frequently under fire from federal ack-ack guns. Because of the high risk, the pilots demand high wages, and the total cost of one shipment of food from Europe can be as much as $25,000. Thus...
...Communist terrorists had been subdued by British and Malayan forces. The drive was a notable success, often wistfully compared with the considerably different results in Viet Nam. But the Communists have never completely abandoned the field. Going underground, pro-Mao Communists have infiltrated trade unions and set up cover organizations and political parties. Worried officials report that in Sarawak, bordering Indonesian territory, Communists have successfully penetrated the whole fabric of society, from political parties to schools. In some rural areas, agents are openly training youths in armed guerrilla warfare...
