...Secretary Bill Moyers at Malacanang to discuss a side trip to Viet Nam. Westmoreland strongly recommended it as a morale booster for U.S. troops and the South Vietnamese as well. Johnson agreed, decided to schedule it the very next day, when he had a full program and nobody would suspect what was afoot. In the event of a security leak, the President said, the whole thing would be canceled-right up to the moment of landing...
...much for acting. The lighting is execrable throughout, being never much more than a subdued murkiness that kills most of the excitement of Lithgow's wonderfully staged crowd scenes.

So thought the court's majority last week. "Despite all the words," it said, "this is what we suspect these actions to be mostly about...
