...story of a struggling 42-year-old TV playwright from Manhattan named Ernie Pandish, who sells a script and overnight becomes rich, famous and an s.o.b.

How had the CBS reporters found their sources? Gitlin: "I can't go into details...

Last Sunday U.S. TViewers saw and heard West Berlin's Mayor Willy Brandt, Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi and New Hampshire's Republican Senator Styles Bridges.
