Distributed throughout the city were brochures with this message in various forms, and posters of children playing, with the caption "Keep Dallas Safe for Them, Avoid Violence." The agency prepared a film, "Dallas at the Crossroads," every propaganda angle possible--from the birth of a baby to a Boy Scout flag parade.

Western governments generally discourage or prohibit giving Communist customers anything but the most limited credit. And Western insurance firms, for the most part, consider such business neither safe nor profitable. One of the few U.S. firms to try it-a 15-company consortium-went out of business more than six months...
