...keeping with the Thanksgiving season, the networks have begun killing their ratings turkeys. The New Perry Mason Show (CBS), with the bland Monte Markham in the old Raymond Burr role, has been sentenced to oblivion. At least two other shows face a doubtful future: Tenafly (NBC), with James McEachin as a black middle-class suburbanite who shuttles from kids and crab grass to detective assignments; and Faraday and Company (NBC), wherein Dan Dailey engagingly plays a private eye just home after 28 years in a Latin American jail on a trumped-up charge...

Although the shooting war has diminished in intensity and U.S. warplanes no longer are bombing Vietnam into oblivion, the NLF still needs--and merits--support from people in this country...
...Thieu's repression can be hastened by a cut-off in American aid to his government. Without U.S. assistance, his army, the fourth-largest in the world, will be unable to survive, and his government will soon follow it into well-deserved oblivion. As the Vietnamese return to their homes, the National Liberation Front will be able to continue its land reform program and construct a national state based on popular support which will be free from foreign domination...
