...more than an international embarrassment. The U.S. has repeated its commitment too often, in words too strong, for any of its promises to be considered genuine if it reneges on this one. Prince Sihanouk said two weeks ago that if the U.S. withdraws from Vietnam "Cambodia will be a ripe fruit, which the Communists will be able to savor without having to take the trouble to pick it from the tree as the "Khmer Reds' will cause it to fall straight into their laps...

Realism, of course, turned out to be a euphemism for a concentration of sexual adventurism such as no network had ever risked before. In its first season, Peyton Place was so successful that in June the network added a third weekly show, making...
