...fact, Reddin's motives were far different. Not only would his TV contract give him about three times as much money to start with ($100,000 a year v. $32,800, with $150,000 after five years and perhaps a share of the station's profits), but it would also allow him far greater freedom to say what was on his mind.

In the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, several European members shored up their defense budgets. Britain's withdrawal from east of Suez may also benefit NATO by bringing home forces that can be put at NATO's disposal. That, in turn, may move Britain into a position to supply the supreme commander for NATO, a post that until...
