...York City, People for McCarthy began a "Telephone Revolution" with newspaper ads inviting supporters to call up and leave their names for an unofficial referendum designed to document the depth of disenchantment with the party's Establishment. Meantime, the Senator's aides are negotiating with TV networks for at least three half-hour broadcast slots prior to the convention, when the candidate will discuss the democratic process, the war, foreign policy and the urban crisis...
...notably from Richard Nixon and G.O.P. National Chairman Ray Bliss, on Rocky's suggestion that he and Nixon 1) meet in a debate, and 2) sponsor a state-by-state voter poll to test their Electoral College strength.

What has happened in Czechoslovakia has been more cautious, deliberate and evolutionary; it is an attempt at the marriage of Communism and democracy that...
...TV to Toyota. Sato was vastly helped by Japan's present mood of tranquillity and satisfaction. Materially, the country has never been better off. Its economy, booming along at an annual growth rate of 13.6%, provides full employment. Last year Japan overtook Britain to become the world's fourth largest industrial power, after the U.S., Russia and West Germany. In the past five years, Japanese consumers have upgraded their status symbols from a Sony TV set to a new Toyota auto, and many are saving their wages so that they can escape the stacks of overcrowded public apartments...
