Amplifying Prejudices. As a result of its extraordinary impact, TV news has become a powerful force encouraging social ferment. Early in the civil rights revolution, Negro activists made it perfectly clear that wittingly or unwittingly, the TV cameraman was their ally. Marches were staged and demonstrations timed to get full coverage. By reporting the whole movement, TV added to its momentum. The sight of Bull Connor's dogs attacking Birmingham Negroes served as a catalyst for the conscience of most of the nation...
...major problem is the government's flagging "Revolutionary Development" program for the countryside. With two-thirds of the year gone, Viet Nam's four regions have committed less than half of their 1966 development budgets; in northern provinces, racked by anti-government ferment last summer, as little as 13% of these projects has been completed. Reform of Viet Nam's archaic land tenure, the key to a land-hungry peasant's loyalty, is also dragging.

This is also the domain of the Western businessman, of the 500 Western firms which are engaged in cooperative ventures worth $800 million in Eastern Europe, and which will do many times that amount of business in the years ahead...
