...Saigon, the reaction was ambivalent. There was "nothing important" in Ho's death, said President Nguyen Van Thieu. "What is important is whether the North Vietnamese will end their aggressive policies or will end the war." Communist defectors felt that Ho's death would cause deep morale problems among the Viet Cong, who admired Ho hugely. One defector noted that the guerrillas have long dreamed of seeing Ho riding triumphantly into Saigon, which then would be renamed Ho Chi Minh City.

But the defense works equally well against tissues from higher animals, including those from any other man (except an identical twin...

The Canadian commercial network transmitted the show on schedule last spring, and ever since, Tommy has toured the U.S., screening the tape for Congressmen, Federal Communications commissioners and the press. The viewers' overwhelming reaction was that the program was not only inoffensive, but probably one of the best Brothers shows of the season...
