...bring the company around, Cook has started a major reorganization, giving more power to a few veteran vice presidents and centralizing far-flung product research. He has a salesman's high hopes for several products that are test-marketed: Brim, a decaffeinated coffee; Master Blend, a mix of freeze-dried and spray-dried coffee that would cost less than either Maxim or Taster's Choice; Oven Top, a chicken or turkey dressing that can be cooked without a bird; and Soft-Swirl, a mousse dessert.

What happens there tells us nothing very useful about the future anywhere else. Moreover, the consequences of Communist success there must therefore be examined with special care and precision; and such examination indicates that it would not have ramifications of real significance beyond the three Indochina states already affected--except, of course, for the commonplace...
