...about all of Asia. The basic U.S. goal-which is imperfectly understood because it has been inexpertly explained-is to contain Communism and in the process prove to aggressors from Peking to Havana that so-called wars of liberation will not be allowed to succeed. With that in mind, the maximum immediate U.S. goal is to suppress the Viet Cong rebellion, push out the North Vietnamese invaders, preserve South Viet Nam's non-Communist status-and win solid guarantees that the situation will stay stable. The maximum Communist goal, of course, is just the opposite: throw out the Americans...

He predicts that any subsequent challenge will have little chance in the face of such evidence. He has also taped standard instructions to witnesses and clients, explaining the basics of testifying. That saves him an hour with each...
...running any kind of major business. RCA Board Chairman David Sarnoff says that he is even slicker at the negotiating table than on the air. Richard Berg, who produced Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater for TV, says he "has a very crisp approach and a totally organized mind. He's not an easy man to please; you know he's measuring, testing you all the time...
