...sequence in a controversial documentary, The Selling of the Pentagon, had been used out of context. CBS declined to supply its film files to the committee, claiming that unused "outtakes" could be kept as confidential as a reporter's notes under the First Amendment press-freedom guarantees. Congressman Harley Staggers of West Virginia, the committee's chairman, lost out in an effort to have CBS cited for contempt of Congress...
...message, not its music, that is offbeat. That message is preached by the movement's founder, Victor Paul Wierwille, 54, a trim, tanned, fast-talking six-footer who likes to wear Western-cut suits with a scarf around his neck and tool around the countryside on a big Harley-Davidson. A former minister of the United Church of Christ who has studied both at the University of Chicago Divinity School and Princeton Theological Seminary, Wierwille is now a crackerbarrel theological promoter who grandiosely claims to have done the only "pure and correct" interpretation of the Bible since the First...

Once before, CBS had turned over material on an abortive program, Project Nassau, involving a projected invasion of Haiti. Now Stanton offered only the film used...
...phrase. Representative F. Edward Hébert, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, filed an official complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, charging that the documentary's producers misleadingly edited film in order to disparage the Pentagon's publicity effort (TIME, April 5). Representative Harley Staggers not only complained to the FCC but also threatened to open an inquiry by his Special Subcommittee on Investigations. The Washington Post, though praising the import of the documentary, published two more lengthy editorials, again challenging the film's production techniques and accuracy. Not surprisingly, CBS News President Richard Salant...
