...hazards, particularly since mid-1967, when the networks were forced to air antismoking commercials on TV. Indeed, the tobaccomen's decision to turn off their tremendously expensive and competitive TV campaigns may well have been helped along by the prospect that broadcasters would in turn be allowed to jettison the antismoking spots. FTC Chairman Paul Rand Dixon suggests that broadcasters should keep right on giving free air time to antismoking...
...survival-of their regimes. The National Liberation Front has thus far refused to countenance any suggestion of a political settlement in South Viet Nam that would perpetuate Thieu's "puppet regime." Yet the U.S. might damage Saigon's hard-won political stability if it were to jettison Thieu at this stage. In fact, the Midway meeting was designed to bolster Thieu's position with tributes to South Vietnamese courage and Washington-Saigon solidarity...
...Mary. At least the implication was "Here is myth for myth's sake, it's good for your souls," a kind of return to Tertullian's "Credo quia absurdum."

"After that," says Scott, "my Volkswagen expired ignominiously on the Massachusetts Turnpike, and I showed up for work in the cab of a tow truck...
There seemed to be no way of preventing Garrison from rehashing the Shaw case in court. Nor is he likely to jettison his whole investigation, which is largely bankrolled by a group of wealthy businessmen that melodramatically calls itself "Truth and Consequences." However, Garrison could get clipped several ways. Shaw has announced that he is considering legal action, which could be either against Garrison or his group of backers. The American Bar Association has hinted that it might want to investigate the D.A.'s "motives." Garrison's real test will take place outside the courtroom...
