...franchise offices and therefore did not give a true picture of the size of our company. Total sales of Manpower's 531 company-owned and franchise offices for the calendar year 1966 were $135 million.

The clergy wants to push God? Jones, in a mod getup vaguely suggesting the Blood of the Lamb, sings Jesus songs to a screaming multitude. Eventually he gets a kind of religion himself. To a crowd of dignitaries assembled to pay him homage, he mumbles "I hate you," and vanishes into oblivion with the One Girl...
