...pool at the foot of the Capitol to a National Square before the White House. Crucial to the plan is the 75-ft. setback along the avenue's north side, which is already being redeveloped by the Government and private entrepreneurs. To keep the setback, Owings has had to deploy his considerable powers of suasion. When he learned that the FBI intended to build a new headquarters right out to the old sidewalk line, he called on J. Edgar Hoover, urged him to redesign the projected structure. After listening to Owings' impassioned plea, Hoover nodded agreement...
Defending the Administration's decision, Clifford underscored Sentinel's real value-as a deterrent to further Soviet moves in the ABM field. "If they [the Soviets] develop and deploy a workable ABM system and we do not," he declared, "we are at a disadvantage." His logic made an impact.

For a single engagement, Director Sergei Bondarchuk could deploy 120,000 troops-supplied by the Soviet government, which has a stake in the film as message as well as art.

Our biggest concern is to develop a relationship so that the company has a respect for the consumer and the consumer will have respect for the company. As buying power among Negroes increases, they will be able to spend more money...
Gaping Loophole. Skeptics were quick to point out that the Administration had merely denied reports that it had been asked by parties unknown to deploy nuclear weapons; no one specifically repudiated gossip that their use was under consideration by the Pentagon. Nor did General Wheeler ease the skeptics' concern when he was asked at a press conference about using tactical nukes in Viet Nam. Sidestepping the broad question, he repeated: "I do not think that nuclear weapons will be required to defend Khe Sanh." The implication, to many, was that nukes were at least available as a last resort...
