Blackout. The National Association of Broadcasters' self-policing TV and radio "code-review boards" proposed that the industry begin a gradual phase-out of cigarette commercials over a three-year period starting next January, and eliminate all cigarette ads by September 1973. Adoption of the plan by the full N.A.B. is only a formality. The N.A.B. program would affect the three TV networks and about 400 independent TV stations, as well as 6,272 radio stations that subscribe to the N.A.B. code. Many of the non-code stations, which account for 36% of TV and 64% of radio stations...
Next Target. The industry timetable would obviously ease the shock of ending the ads-which may not be much of a shock after all. Presumably, the broadcasters would also be allowed to phase out those FCC-required free anti-smoking commercials, which take up $70 million worth of air time a year. Some but by no means all of the loss from cigarette commercials would be made up by the fast-diversifying tobacco companies themselves. As they cut back their cigarette ad budgets, they would spend more on their non-tobacco products...

Yours is almost a voice in the wilderness...
...first phase of the withdrawal was worked out during a three-day meeting at the Hawaii headquarters of Admiral John McCain, Commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific. A team of 100 military and civilian Defense Department experts, who gathered in a movie theater, reviewed the already prepared top-secret folders and quickly made the decision on which troops to start pulling out of Viet Nam. The two 9th Infantry brigades and the Marine regimental combat team include roughly 17,000 men. They will be joined by about another 8,000 rear-echelon and naval personnel. The total number...
Last week the battle against inflation entered a new and crucial phase. The phase began when the nation's commercial banks raised their minimum interest charge for loans from 71% to an unprecedented 81% - a move that was widely interpreted as a portent of a serious credit crisis. The next day, the Government's top economic policymakers managed to sound downright alarmist as they made a rare joint appearance at a Washington press conference to plead for an extension of the 10% surtax on personal and corporate incomes. That tax, which is due to expire June...
