Admen's Heartburn. This week, amid the scaffolding of half-finished office buildings, in ancient music halls hastily made into studios and in smart Mayfair suites, feverish platoons of producers, directors, scriptwriters, camera crews, actors and admen are marshaling their forces for TV-day-Sept. 22. Commercial television, British-style, will not start out as a replica of the American brand.

[It] would give the soviet war planners precisely the information they most need if they are to knock us out with a surprise attack. This plan was put forward not to be accepted but to be rejected.
