...recent visit to the U.S., General William Westmoreland expressed concern and anger at this enemy build-up just beyond the reach of his troops. There has even been some talk among the military of a Cuba-type "quarantine" of Sihanoukville. But the idea hardly pleases U.S. diplomats.

To dramatize Braniff Airways' airfreight division, Zieff shows a man crated and shipped by air, arriving at his destination with not a hair out of place. For Whirlpool household appliances, he marches a repairman into a rainswept courtyard where a Gestapo-type supervisor charges him with neglecting his customers and then strips the company emblems off his shirt...
