...force is a slick, tough outfit with 92,000 men and the latest type of fighter-bombers. Like the army, it is geared tightly to NATO plans. While France's Charles de Gaulle stub bornly impedes cooperation and while the British ponder their own role, West Germany enthusiastically cooperates with U.S. military planning. Symbol of this close relationship is the cluster of five military agreements signed in August, which envisions a German-American tank for the 1970s, joint development of missile cruisers and jet helicopters, plus an ambitious combined research project on new weapons...
...brightened hopes that the Senate would quickly pass the $60 million appropriation recently approved by the House. After passage, the technical task of getting the U.S. supersonic program off the ground will fall to Halaby's hard-nosed deputy, Gordon Bain, 54, a former vice president of Slick and Northwest airlines. Under Bain, the FAA will select an airframe company and enginemaker to build a supersonic transport, then oversee the project until the planes are certified as airworthy and delivered to the airlines...

...that man has bestial tendencies merely states a truism if the production is poor. On the program of Oh What A Lovely War are quotations denouncing war from such diverse men as Mathiez and MacArthur, giving credence to the assertion that it is only a propaganda piece embellished by slick staging. As such it pales in comparison to The Rabbit Race which is more caustic and convincing by treating fresh characters, not tired caricatures...
