...stench of decay was recognizable in Parisian cinemas where newsreel audiences booed and jeered an endless procession of politicos marching vainly into the Palais Bourbon to argue and temporize. Railway workers, bus drivers, mailmen, stagehands, customs inspectors, garbage collectors, undertakers and thousands of other French workers walked out in a paralyzing general strike, leaving Paris streets empty of buses and littered with trash. Unless the government can persuade the Bank of France to lend it 250 billion francs, it will not be able even to meet its next civil-service payroll...

The method is costly in effort and money-$100,000 a show (plus $75,000 for TV time). Though Sponsor Pan American World Airways picks up part of the tab, CBS loses money on the program. Murrow and Friendly may spend as much as a year preparing...
...struggle for power still to come -for dictatorships have iron laws of their own, and committee rule is not one of them-the comrade who will always bear close watching is the glowering little man who even now can be seen edging away from the newsreel camera's center of focus. He has a record of survival...
