...best interests. One reason for this reconsideration is that West German elections will be held in September. As the Soviets see it, the West German leader of the 1970s will be either Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, a Socialist, or Finance Minister Franz Josef Strauss, a conservative.

But that vision did not reckon with the relentless opposition of movie exhibitors and the broadcasting lobbies in Washington. Over the years the TV industry kept insisting, as the National Association of Broadcasters' chief counsel put it, that pay TV "would convert a free highway into a toll road.
