Next day, however, delegates voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution defending critics of the Viet Nam War, and urged that the U.S. withdraw all troops by the end of 1970, with or without the blessing of the Thieu government...
...this hairsplitting is not without its dangers, though. The Mexican company ran one night in Acapulco before the authorities moved in to close the show for "undermining the morals of youth" and put the cast in the local cárcel for five hours.

...find themselves aboard a hijacked plane. Bound for Paris, it lands instead in Eastern Europe, where the Hollanders are charged with spying. "First no movie in the plane and now this!" moans the wife. "Nobody can be dragged out and shot," counters the suspicious junior American ambassador (Ted Bessell), "without written consent of the American Government." But from this intriguing negative nothing develops. Gleason merely settles in for an extended Honeymooners skit, swinging on the billingsgate with his wife and rolling fried-egg eyes skyward at every silence...
