...J.C.S. system, its critics say, only contributes to the confusion. Except for the chairman, each member of the J.C.S. wears two hats-one as chief of his own service and the other as a joint chief. General Thomas White, as an example (which applies equally to the other service heads), spends most of his week as Air Force Chief of Staff, working on Air Force problems, expounding Air Force doctrine, fighting Air Force battles.

...debate, shouts of "Treason!" were hurled at Prime Minister Harold Macmillan from the Visitors' Gallery.

...bulk of film comes from the newsreel archives, which started in the U.S. in 1910 and by now, except for Paramount's stubbornly locked vaults, have been raked by the networks. Ironically, it is TV itself that has put most of the newsreels out of business and thereby shut off one source for future historians in celluloid. The networks are now salting away their own voluminous news film against the day when a show like Twenty-First Century may want to picture the quaint old U.S. at the dawn of the space...
