Company Strikes. Some 5,000 to 8,000 men a month go down the network of trails to fight in South Viet Nam, though of late the traffic has largely been in supplies. To keep the roads open under the daily bombing, Hanoi employs a large assortment of heavy earth-moving equipment at night, plus the labor of some 40,000 coolies. An estimated 5,000 trucks ply the trail, but bicycles and even elephants are also used. Some 25,000 North Vietnamese troops are stationed in Laos to guard the vital Red flow southward. Where traffic is heaviest...

Queen Elizabeth II would be pleased if the Duke and Duchess of Windsor could come to England from the U.S. to attend the dedication next month in Marlborough House of a memorial plaque to the Duke's mother, the late Queen Mary.

Spell out why your client was railroaded while the host nods in friendly agreement. This will give viewers the idea that what you are saying must be right...
...million enable Tonight to gross more than any other entertainment program on television. It is not only the size of the audience that attracts Carson's advertisers, but its quality as well. His viewers are mostly urban and at least high-school-educated-young enough to stay up late with ease, or successful enough not to have to show up too early for work. Jimmy Stewart watches, and so do Bobby Kennedy, Ed Sullivan, Darryl Zanuck, New York's Mayor John Lindsay, Nebraska Governor Norbert Tiemann, Robert Merrill and Nelson Rockefeller. Rocky was Carson's guest recently...
