...haven't noticed the critics suggesting a practical alternative to military action in Viet Nam. Many cry for negotiations, but to negotiate two parties are necessary. We could withdraw from South Viet Nam and let Ho Chi Minh have it-sort of a 1968 version of "peace in our time." We could even throw in Thailand and Laos to keep Ho happy. In a couple of years, we can let him have Korea and Japan; about 1975, Hawaii. Or, we could allow U.S. naval and air forces to place full pressure on North Viet Nam with conventional weapons, forcing...
...neutral foreign policy. Even a few years ago, Moscow would have rudely condemned or cruelly crushed those making such demands. Now, Russia's rukrs were apparently prepared to yield (see THE WORLD). And a key factor in the Czechoslovaks' insistence on neutrality was apparently the same sort of disaffection with the Viet Nam war that has been plaguing U.S. citizens.

Every so often a long-winded narrator, sort of a supernatural Walt Disney, interrupts to fill those details too difficult to dramatize. Sound and light effects also butt in from time to time, but they prove merely idle threats of impending excitement. We get only ambiguity for suspense, a tape recorder for horror...
...story and even the identity of some of the characters remain pretty much in the dark. The dialogue, such as it is, is so poorly organized that each scene can produce little more than confusion. Only when Morel belatedly reveals his remarkable invention, does everything make a fuzzy sort of sense...
