...bombing of its military and logistics targets might prove as effective as President Nixon had promised. Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, who as Chief of Naval Operations is ultimately responsible for the massive armada (six carriers, five cruisers, 40 destroyers) that is enforcing Nixon's quasi-quarantine, declared that the flow of supplies into North Viet Nam would be "a trickle from...
...interest of the United States is or is not served is not a consideration." Executive Producer Wallace Westfeldt of NBC Nightly News said later that he had been quoted out of context and that his meaning had been distorted. Broadcasting the film, he said, was "part of the free flow of information. It is very important to know what the North Vietnamese are seeing."

Sweeping out Moore, a savvy campaigner whose vote-pulling power started...

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau may well beat them because he has taken aim at an unpopular form of investment. Takeovers, mostly by U.S. firms, account for only 17% of the flow of foreign investment money into Canada, but they are especially noxious to many Canadians because they do nothing directly to expand production or jobs but only transfer ownership to outsiders. Whatever happens in the next election, it would be a grave mistake for U.S. executives to underestimate the deep worry...
